Ep. 17: Pieper’s Leisure the Basis of Culture and ”Hope,” with David Booz and Andrea Francois

David, Andrea, and I (with improved audio) sit down to discuss two works by Josef Pieper.  These two works are both important and accessible to non-philosophers.  In Leisure, Pieper posits that real leisure relies on a capacity for contemplation and is anchored in divine worship.  In "Hope," Pieper highlights our status as pilgrims "on the way" in our earthly lives and develops the implications of that status viator in interesting and life-changing ways.
