In Ep. 5 of the Project Schola Podcast, host John Trevor Berger welcomes Ann Hartle — Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Emory University — for an intriguing discussion on the nature of philosophy and the meaning of “schola.”
Particular attention is given to the distinction between modern and premodern philosophy, as well as the peculiar characteristics of the “modern turn”: especially its twofold preoccupation with epistemology (which lays the framework for modern science) and political philosophy — two domains which prove to be far more foundationally connected than one might imagine.

We've had Project Schola on simmer for a long time, but we're finally beginning to bring it to the fore. And since educational outreach—especially to youth—is the single most important long-term priority of the Initiative, we're very excited to launch this project and hope you will be too. The podcast is only the beginning.
Featuring co-hosts Brian Murphy and John Trevor Berger of the Philos-Sophia Initiative.

ABOUT THE NEXT EPISODE
Next time on the Project Schola Podcast, special guest Raphael De Paola (Professor of Physics, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro) will be joining us. Professor De Paola will share his personal story, his journey into theoretical physics and philosophy, and after his discourse on the true nature of "matter," any residual materialistic notions as you may still possess are likely to be completely shattered. This is one you do not want to miss!
