J. Budrzyszewski, one of the greatest natural law philosophers of our time, joins the show to discuss his new book. How to be happy (and how not)spiritual warfare in the classroom, and his journey from “macho nihilism” to faith.
Topics include:
- Why can’t virtue alone bring happiness?
- Why the Greeks said, “Never call a man happy until he dies”
- Criticism of the Stoic Revival
- How believing in life after death allows us to be honest about suffering in this life
- Teaching secular students about natural law
- breaking people’s self-deceptions
- Budrzyszewski’s embrace of youthful nihilism and how God defeated his intellectual pride
