Thank you !

Magnanimity might sound lofty, but it’s meant to be lived. In this episode, we dig into the hidden practical wisdom of Aquinas’s Summa —the kind that’s tucked between the objections and replies. Step by step, we uncover some of the practical elements of this virtuous desire for honour. But this isn’t a passive listen: to really get it, you’ll need to read along, wrestle with the text yourself, and catch the insights I can only gesture toward in the episode. The links are in the show notes below —bring your curiosity and your courage.
