Description

Why does literature still matter in our modern world? In this episode, ISI’s Conservative Conversations welcomes scholar Jason Baxter to discuss his latest book, Why Literature Still Matters. Baxter explores how great literature shapes our moral imagination, cultivates wisdom, and connects us to timeless truths. From Dante to C.S. Lewis, he reveals how classic works offer profound insights into human nature, virtue, and beauty—insights that are increasingly neglected in today's culture.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on why preserving the literary tradition is essential for the future of civilization.
