I was the last of a breed, a humanities professor whose students were taught how to think, how to find truth, and what millennia of past geniuses handed us to make our lives lived better. I used to, only half sarcastically, tell my students that their other classes would teach them how to make money, but I would teach them how to spend it, on that which satisfies the mind and the soul. And I did this because I love God and I love the best of the past and I love what the future could be. That is why I hate with a righteous passion what has been done to the concept of college by my woke colleagues, and I pray they either repent or suffer eternally for what they have done.
There are still a lot of good ones out there in the trenches.
The world needs such humanities professors more than ever. I’m appalled at the replacement of such humanities with ‘studies’ departments focusing on the cause of the day.
Given your past tense description, I presume you are ‘retired.’ Have you worked at writing books or doing videos?
I’m currently going through Sebastian Morello’s Symposia series.
