Episode 54 - A Knight for Truth - Episode 1

Today we begin a new series, sponsored by the University of Dallas: A Knight for Truth, examining the life and thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand. In this episode, Lily discusses Dietrich von Hildebrand’s early life—from his childhood in Florence to his first years at University. Having been raised in a home devoted to beauty, he was prepared for his encounter with renowned philosopher Max Scheler, who helped to spark Hildebrand’s conversion to the Catholic Church by opening his eyes to the beauty of sanctity. The University of Dallas is among an exclusive list of Catholic universities recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society. Founded in 1956, the University of Dallas is dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom, truth, and virtue. It has two campuses, one located in the bustling Dallas/Fort Worth region and another southeast of Rome.
