Discussion: On the Unseriousness of Human Affairs: Teaching, Writing, Playing, Believing, Lecturing, Philosophizing, Singing, Dancing

Author: James V. Schall

Description: In On the Unseriousness of Human Affairs, James V. Schall reflects on the profound yet often humorous nature of human existence, particularly the quest for knowledge and understanding. Schall critiques modern intellectual and educational trends, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, philosophy, and moral contemplation in teaching. He argues that too many modern educational pursuits have become overly technical and disconnected from fundamental human questions. With humor and wit, Schall suggests that the seriousness with which we approach life's most important questions may actually obscure their deeper, more profound nature.
