Episode 4: De Descriptione Temporum

Once upon a time, C. S. Lewis gave one of his best lectures ever.
It was called “De Descriptione Temporum,” and everyone—yes, you
too—should read it. We were joined in this episode by Daniel
Foucachon, Lydia’s husband and the founder of Roman Roads Press
and Kepler Education. We talk about watershed moments in history,
pre-Christian and post-modern man, why we should keep the “clean
sea breeze” of old books flowing through our minds. In the second
half, we also discuss the difference between The Great Books and
the great books, and the importance of knowing “your” people.
