Summer Flashback: Looking Over Galileo’s Shoulder with Ravi Jain

from BaseCamp Live · host Ravi Jain, Davies Owens

What happens when we teach science and math not just as technical subjects—but as opportunities for wonder, worship, and wisdom?In this summer flashback episode, Davies Owens is joined by renowned classical educator Ravi Jain, co-author of The Liberal Arts Tradition and a leading voice in the recovery of classical science education. Too often, classical schools are seen as focused on the humanities, while math and science remain untouched by the classical tradition. But Ravi makes a compelling case for why recovering natural philosophy—the pursuit of truth in the created world—is vital to forming whole human beings.From sketchbooks and pendulums to Pascal, Newton, and Galileo, this conversation explores how students can rediscover the beauty and order of God’s creation—and how science class can become a place of discovery, not just memorization.🎧 Tune in to hear:Why observation and wonder must be central to classical scienceHow integrated courses reveal the unity of knowledgeWhat it means to raise students who seek wisdom over utilityWhether you’re a parent, teacher, or school leader, this episode will reshape how you think about math, science, and the pursuit of knowledge.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:ZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!
