Étienne Gilson (b.1884)
from Sleep With Philosophy Hosted by Whisper.fm
As dusk settles over the old cobblestone streets of Paris, we find ourselves wandering through the reflective mind of Étienne Gilson, a scholar adrift in the secular currents of early 20th-century academia. Cloaked in the quiet reverence for medieval scholasticism, his thoughts weave through the philosophical rigor of Aquinas and Augustine, seeking to bridge the ancient with the modern in a dance of faith and reason. Through Gilsons eyes, we explore the misunderstood depths of medieval philosophy, not as relics of the past but as living dialogues challenging the nihil of modern thought. Let us drift into a night steeped in scholarly pursuit, where old wisdom shines new light on present queries, inviting us to ponder the profound continuity within our own contemplations.This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
