Beatrice Institute Podcast
We're wandering between two worlds. Modernity as we knew it is passing away, and the next world is yet to be born. Like Dante, we are in a dark wood, struggling to know how to think and how to live. Virgil guided Dante with the light of natural reason, then Beatrice illuminated the path to Paradise with Christian revelation. Welcome to the Beatrice Institute Podcast, where Christian faith and reason illuminate the best of academic thinking and research. How should we think and live in this time between worlds? At Beatrice Institute, we take our bearings from the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. This podcast reflects BI's research and public engagement initiatives. As director of BI's Genealogies of Modernity initiative, co-host Ryan McDermott asks guests, "What does it mean to be modern, where did we come from, and what comes next?" As director of BI's Personalism and Public Policy initiative, Grant Martsolf asks, "How should we organize our common life to promote the flourishing of the person, made in the image of God?" And for our initiative on Being Human in an Age of Artificial Intelligence, Gretchen Huizinga asks, "What makes humans special and what does it mean to flourish on the frontier of a technological future?"
