Ep 15: Law and Order
<p>What does Moses have to do with America? While many are concerned about theocracy or theonomy, our culture is rejecting many of the judicial principles inherited from the Christian tradition. While we need not rigidly apply the Mosaic law to our contemporary society, it expresses many principles of justice which we lose to our peril. We have to thank Moses for many of the freedoms and benefits of our legal tradition, and ought to recover the sound application of justice in our country today. </p>

Ep 13: It Killed the Ancient Romans
<p>"Latin is a language,<br> As dead as dead can be.<br> It killed the ancient Romans,<br> and now it's killing me."</p> <p>Why study Latin? Why study a dead language? When we study Latin, we study the nature of language itself. Are words just names and labels that are slapped arbitrarily onto objects although their is no real connection? Rather, language and signs are woven into the fabric of reality and understanding language helps us to understand the nature of the world. Latin, as a dead language, helps us to think about the world in a different way. Latin orders the mind; it is the linguistic counterpart to math. There are a number of practical benefits to learning Latin. And Latin is a beautiful language. Join Austin and Max as they discuss different reasons why one should study Latin in the 21st century. </p> <p>You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts here.</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p><a href="https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2020/08/unique-advantages-latin-greek-austin-hoffman.html">The Unique Advantages of Latin and Greek</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/why-schools-must-have-latin-reading-program">Why Classical Schools must have a Latin Reading Program</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/first-things-first-classical-languages-and-soul-part-1">First Things First: Classical Languages and the Soul, Part 1</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/first-things-first-classical-languages-and-soul-part-1https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/first-things-first-classical-languages-and-soul-part-2">First Things First: Classical Languages and the Soul, Part 2</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.circeinstitute.org/blog/are-classical-languages-necessary-classical-school">Are Classical Languages Necessary to the Classical School?</a></p>
