Perennial Wisdom

Sharon Lebell & Simon Drew | Faith, Hope, and Love


Listen Later

Are the cardinal virtues of courage, temperance, wisdom, and justice enough to live our highest good? Is there a need for the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love? These are just two of the questions we explore in this wide-ranging conversation of In Search of Wisdom.

In this episode, I welcome to the show two friends from The Walled Garden, Sharon Lebell (author of The Art of Living) and Simon Drew (author of The Poet & the Sage). As you’ll hear in the episode, Sharon and Simon have thought deeply about what it means to live a virtuous life, and I’m grateful they took the time to come on the show. 

In the conversation, we explore the questions,

  • What is faith, and what’s the opposite of faith? 
  • How should we think about hope in daily life?
  • Why do some philosophers see hope as something to avoid? 
  • What roles do our views and beliefs play in living virtuously?
  • Wisdom in daily life and much more
  • Although we covered much ground in the conversation, we only scratched the surface. Our goal is to connect again in the near future to explore the virtue of love — more to follow.
