Is philosophy obsolete in our AI-driven world? Timothy Knotts argues just the opposite. Robert interviews Timothy Knotts, a member of Classical Conversations' development team, about "Reasoning Together Philosophy", an anthology of original works and excerpts from philosophers, writers, and thinkers from all eras, coming Spring 2025. Timothy discusses his journey into classical education, the importance of philosophy in today's education landscape, and why learning philosophical concepts remains relevant despite our STEM-focused culture. He explains how the book helps students engage with great thinkers throughout history while balancing faith and reason. Timothy also shares insights for homeschooling parents about prioritizing what matters most in education and offers advice for fathers on staying engaged with their children's learning journey.
