BOETHIUS: Boethius, Session 01 - Whats Wrong with the World




An incredible TWO HOUR long lecture on the history of Boethius' "Consolation of Philosophy" by Professor Corey Olsen.  He talks briefly about two famous British authors who were greatly influenced by him: J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.  But this is mostly about Boethius's life and influence.

TV: C-SPAN3: "Legacies of the Founders"

Wednesday, July 04, 2018


Watched "Legacies of the Founders" on C-SPAN3 today.  Absolutely fascinating lecture on the importance of the Founding Fathers, and their legacy.

"Pulitzer Prize-winning historians Joseph Ellis and Gordon Wood discussed the legacies of the Founding Fathers. They also explored the relationships between several of these leaders and talked about some of the lesser-known Founders. The Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida hosted the event."

You can find out more about it here: "Legacies of the Founders"
