In this episode I speak with Professor Vigen Gurioan about the revised and expanded edition of his book Tending the Heart of Virtue: How Classic Stories Awaken a Child’s Imagination. We discuss the power of stories, how they help can us develop self-knowledge, and how fairy tales and classic stories are essential for education and moral formation for children — and for adults. Fairy tales and classic stories can impress upon us profound philosophical and often theological insights about life and death, the good and beautiful, the value of courage and nobility, and importance of self-sacrifice for love. Stories, themes, and thinkers we we discuss include
Hans Christian Anderson
The Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Grimm’s Fairy Tales
George McDonald
Pinocchio, honor, honesty, and the responsibility of children to their parents
The Ugly Duckling, courage, and the desire for beauty
The Wind and the Willows, Charlotte’s Web, and friendship of equality and friendship of mentors
Good Wishes and Bad Wishes
Joseph Pieper and Dietrich von Hildebrand on joy as a the superabundant fruit of love and self-gift
Charles Dickens
C.S. Lewis
Edmund Burke
Aristotle on Friendship and more

Beschreibung

Welcome to the Moral Imagination Podcast.
The overarching theme of my podcast is what it means to be a human person and what makes for a meaningful and good life.
We will discuss philosophy of the human person, culture, religion, social philosophy, and many other related topics, like education, learning, economics, food, technology, artificial intelligence, and intellectual history. My goal is to interact with ideas and people whose work I find challenging, and intellectually and socially important.
