Ep 8 - Jeff Nicholas - Tradition-Constituted Reason & Beyond
Immerse yourself in a profound exploration of reason and tradition in the 8th episode of Reviving Virtue, where we have the privilege of hosting Dr. Jeffery Nicholas, a renowned philosophy professor from Providence College and the insightful author of 'Reason, Tradition, and the Good: MacIntyre's Tradition-Constituted Reason and Frankfurt School Critical Theory' [https://bookshop.org/a/94644/9780268036645]. Dr. Nicholas brings a wealth of understanding as we delve into the world of substantive reason, a form of reason brimming with content, standards, and ideas about what's good, guiding us to contemplate our societal goals and aspirations. We juxtapose our established Enlightenment-based understanding of knowledge with the epistemologies of indigenous cultures such as the Lakota people, bringing forth the richness of their worldviews. The episode culminates in an engaging discussion on the transformative potential of education, and how it can foster understanding, critique, and catalyze change within our traditions. Join us in this episode as we seek to articulate new moral narratives that can reshape our time.
