Description

On this episode Patrick and Amanda interview Emily Finley. A mother of four, she also has a phD in politics, is a senior fellow of the Albertus Magnus Institute, and is the writer of The Christian Imagination on Substack. We talk about the romantic imagination of Rousseau and how that differs from the moral imagination we are aiming to cultivate in the classical tradition. We also discuss the competing imaginative visions of a historically-rooted classical versus neo-classical (Dorothy Sayers) approaches to education.
