SHOW NOTES
Welcome to the 7th Season of the podcast! We are excited to begin the season with our special guest Tom Morris, a prolific author and philosopher who will chat with Steve about the difference between education and indoctrination; how uncertainty is the canvas on which all our lives are painted; and how we should walk in uncertainty, mystery, and doubt without rushing quickly to find fact and theory.
Thanks for joining us today!
Special Guest Tom V. Morris
Tom Morris has become one of the most active public philosophers in the world due to his unusual ability to bring the greatest wisdom of the past into the challenges of the present.
A native of Durham, North Carolina and a Distinguished Alumnus of Durham Academy, Tom was a Morehead-Cain Scholar at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, which has honored him, along with Michael Jordan, as a recipient of their "Distinguished Young Alumnus Award." He holds two masters degrees as well as a joint Ph.D. in both Philosophy and Religious Studies from Yale University, as well as other, honorary doctorates in recognition of his public work of bringing practical philosophy back into the cultural mix. Tom served for fifteen years as a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, where he quickly became a campus legend, in many years having an eighth of the entire student body in his classes. Recent projects involve novels, nonfiction books, and a script for an immersive theatrical experience featuring AI and the robotics of five hundred years in the future. He is a firm believer that ideas rock the world. Tom is now Chairman of the Morris Institute for Human Values in Wilmington, NC.
Mentioned in podcast
Tom’s books mentioned:
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by Richard Hofstadter
Two Cultures by C.P. Snow
Moment to Breathe: Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul by Meister Eckhart.
Poem: Opening the Heart's Door
Ours is not the work
of seeking You here
or there where we
think You might be,
but of opening
the heart’s door,
and when we do this
You cannot resist
coming in, since
our opening and Your
entering are one: You
knock and wait, and
when we open we
find that You were
there all along and
will not leave us.
