In this episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast, guest host Kerry Baldwin interviews Andrew Kern, founder of the Circe Institute, to explore classical education from a Christian perspective. They discuss how classical education cultivates wisdom and virtue, contrasting it with conventional education’s focus on job training and economic utility. Kern emphasizes the Socratic and mimetic teaching methods, which foster critical thinking and mental harmony, and critiques the fragmented, age-segregated conventional model for neglecting the soul and Christ as the logos. The conversation highlights the healing power of reflective thought, the importance of Christian classical education in fulfilling cultural traditions, and its role in preparing individuals for meaningful vocations by prioritizing wisdom over mere activism or economic fit.
