Step into the medieval imagination with us as we explore C.S. Lewis’s final academic work, The Discarded Image. In this episode, we gently guide you through the layered, harmonious worldview of the Middle Ages—not as a dark, primitive time, but as a rich and ordered vision of the universe.
Lewis doesn’t ask us to agree with the medieval model of the cosmos—he invites us to understand it. And in doing so, he offers a beautiful shift in perspective: that the past, with all its differences, can still speak with dignity and intelligence. We’ll walk with him through spheres, angelic hierarchies, and the music of the heavens, discovering a world filled with meaning, order, and beauty.
Whether you’re new to medieval thought or revisiting an old love, this episode opens a window into a forgotten way of seeing—a worldview more enchanted and interconnected than we often imagine.
