Doing the (Intellectual) Work | Episode XXVIII

The intellectual life can’t just be reading all day. Eventually, you have to sit down and do the work. According to A.G. Sertillanges, the intellectual vocation finds its fulfillment in creation. Jonathan and Ryan wrap up their reading of Sertillanges’s The Intellectual Life as they walk through the final three chapters.

There was a software problem with recording this week. Apologies for the occasionally scratchy audio quality.
