In this episode we conclude our case study of Edmund Husserl. We discuss other lessons we can learn from his life, and lessons to learn from the faithful men and women who risked everything to save his life’s work. We also discuss the challenging work of preserving ideas that matter in a culture that prefers to forget the past.
In this podcast, we discuss:
- Why it is important to do work that doesn’t specifically address the cultural moment
- How to faithfully push back against false cultural assumptions
- The story of saving the works of Husserl and other Jewish scholars from Nazi tyranny
- Why we should honor, preserve, and build on ideas passed down from others
- The role of the next generation in taking up the mantle of Christian thought
- The art of seeking long term objectives and why it’s critical that we do
