How we forgot the meaning of freedom | D. C. Schindler | TPP #30
I spoke with the American philosopher, D.C. Schindler about the extent to which modern ideologies have distorted our conception of what it means to be free. He is a professor of Metaphysics and Anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute in Washington, D.C. He is the author of several books with a particular focus on the Western conception of freedom, including Freedom from Reality and Politics of the Real.
In this conversation, Schindler explains that we have lost our traditional conception of what it means to be free, as a result of a distorted conception of freedom put forth by modern ideologies. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

The Christmas Truce | Daniël Maritz | TPP #27
On this day, in 1914, a very important moment happened when the factions of the First World War laid down their weapons to celebrate Christmas together. In this episode, I speak with Dr Daniël Maritz, theologist, lecturer and head of the NP van Wyk Louw Centre at Akademia about the significance of this event. But more than that, we discuss how and why Christianity could be described as the cornerstone of Western civilization.
