Ep. 087 - On The Idea of a University
Magnus Podcast: Conversations from the Catacombs of Liberal Education
AMI exists because we, like so many, see a problem with the current university system. What is the modern university providing to its students in comparison to what it ought to be providing? We just completed an 8 week summer course on John Henry Newman’s, ”The Idea of a University,” to grapple with these questions and come to understand what a university ought to look like. As promised, here is a sneak peek into the first of 8 classes from this course. Become a fellow and learn how you can access the entire course and attend more for free!

About Podcast
Like the early philosophers and theologians before us, we are seeking to nourish our souls, discover the truth, and live in the world, but not of it.
Welcome to the Magnus Podcast where John Johnson and Larissa Bianco hope to connect contemporary thinkers to conversations from the catacombs in the classical, Christian tradition before us.
The Magnus Podcast is a production of the Albertus Magnus Institute, Inc. Dedicated to the promotion of another sort of learning, the Albertus Magnus Institute seeks to invite all into the truth, ”Omnes ad Veritatem.”
