Ep. 110 – History: The Liberal Art

Happy 4th of July!

Celebrate our country’s independence with this extra special discussion with Dr. Richard Ferrier, tutor at Thomas Aquinas College. John Johnson and Dr. Ferrier discuss the complex question of, “Is history a liberal art?” They discuss this question by looking closely at American rhetoric, creeds, conspiracies, great people and cornerstone events from our founding until now.

If you can’t listen in one go, break it up. You don’t want to miss the end.
