Renee and Karen are joined by author and teacher Joshua Gibbs to compare the burden the aristocrat bears to pass on the honor he has received to his children with our desire to nurture our family culture. Josh offers practical ways for families to preserve and pass on that which is most important.

We are sure you will enjoy Renee and Karen's lively discussion with Dr. Joe Carlson, author of a new contemporary English translation of The Divine Comedy as well as Reader's Guides to all three volumes. After giving us a brief summary of Dante's journey, he explains how The Divine Comedy answers questions central to the topic of education: What is education for? What is man for? How does Dante learn to be human? He gives us a beautiful image of Beatrice as a mother when Dante sees the sun reflected in her eyes and desires to look upon the sun himself. If you have never read The Divine Comedy or if you want to read it with your students, get Dr. Carlson's translation and Reader's Guide! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
