Eric Buzzetti & Devin Stauffer on Christopher Bruell: Essays of Five Decades on Philosophy and Philosophers

Épisode 258

mardi 10 février 2026 • Durée 01:39:01

The guys have emerged from an eight-month slumber to sit down with Eric Buzzetti and Devin Stauffer to talk about their teacher Christopher Bruell and the newly edited collection Christopher Bruell: Essays of Five Decades on Philosophy and Philosophers.

They recount what it was like to study with Bruell at Boston College, why his writing is equal parts illuminating and elusive, and how his work presses readers back toward tough questions of philosophy.

Along the way, they discuss Bruell's relationship to Strauss, his long engagement with Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, and the moderns, as well as why he resisted easy slogans about nature, happiness, and the philosophical life.

If serious reading and soul-forming education are your thing, buckle up for this 99-minute marathon.
