The Great Trope Debate feat. Tessa D'Errico | Week of Love Day 1

from Likewise · host Sam Blocher and Isa Wilder

We're kicking off our Week of Love 2024 with Tessa, author of No Coincidences, and we're talking all things we love to hate (and hate to love): tropes. What is a trope? What's a microtrope? Should we be looking for books based on microtropes? So many questions, and so many thoughts on it all. We're so excited for the rest of this week and all the fun surprises we've got in store for you! hosts: sam blocher and isa wilder guest: tessa d'errico follow Tessa on Instagram! follow us on socials for some sneak peeks, teasers, and great content! sam: @thesamlouiseb isa: @isabela.wilder Likewise on Instagram Likewise on YouTube support likewise :-)

Philosophy for the People Patrick Flynn Philosophy for the People's mission is an educational program aimed at overcoming the paucity of serious, fair-minded, and accessible philosophical discourse available to a popular audience. Though we are ourselves dedicated to the Catholic intellectual tradition, we are likewise committed to exploring ideas from all rigorous traditions of philosophizing (scholastic, classical, analytic, and phenomenological).

Philosophy for the People's pedagogical materials will be provided either without charge or for minimal cost to assure provision of broad access to first-rate philosophical education. Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol. 7 by Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus Loyal Books Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving lives contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives.Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, as such, but in exploring the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destinies of famous men.
