Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke trace how the pursuit of freedom can slide into tyranny and why human worth and rights can’t depend on intelligence, ability, or political status. Christian highlights Sparta’s self-defeating obsession with conquest, while John Luke challenges the limits of equality without a foundation in God. The guys also connect Daniel’s vision to the rise and fall of empires and unpack the startling claim that the truth Greek philosophers searched for became flesh in Jesus.
Today’s conversation is about Lessons 3 & 4 of Western Heritage: From the Book of Genesis to John Locke taught by various Hillsdale professors. Take the course with us at no cost to you!
