Mortimer Adler stood on the metaphysical and moral teachings of Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas to convey to his readers an understanding of the nature of Aristotle’s rhetoric as an essential means for conveying to readers of his time and to posterity a specific understanding of philosophy as an essential humanistic educational tool that might, someday, be able to issue in global peace!

Terrible reader. A truly awful histrionic reading. The author deserved much better. Good stories about Mortimer Adler, John Dewey, and other Columbia professors.

John Henry Newman was an influential figure in the Church of England who shocked the Anglican community in 1843 when he joined the Roman Catholic Church. Newman's spiritual autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, is a classic of English literature. Besides serving as an eloquent response to his critics, it also explores the nature of Christianity and its place in the world. Newman’s work The Idea of a University covers topics such as the character of the academic community, the place of religion and moral values in the university milieu, and more.

First, there isn't a word of Newman's "Idea of a University" in this recording. Instead, we are treated to what will surely be the quirkiest reading of Chapters 2-4 of "The Rise and Progress of Universities" ever done (though it will likely remain the only one). The male performer of these randomly chosen chapters is so out of his element reading them that at one point he seems to decide to have some fun by rendering one line in a sassy near-falsetto ("Ascend and WALK around the walls...") and reading the Latin passages like Fr. Guido Sarducci. That comes after making so many mistakes reading that I imagine the reading ends with Chapter 4 because he quit. Here are just a few of the tastier gaffes:
'Stadium Generale'
'scene' for Seine
'Lewis' for King Louis
'Patrum' for Pratum
'Saint Jorman' for Saint-Germain
'Academy' for Academe
'a scarce spot' for 'scarce a spot'
'Alma Matter'
'rope-a-gus' for Areopagus
'livey' for Livy
'liberty' for liberality
But I will not pile on this poor reader. Let's move on to the female reader of the properly titled but mysteriously paginated "Apologia Pro Vita Sua." Her harsh Teutonic-British accent is equal to the rigors of the Apologia. Strangely, the reading retains the references to the page numbers of an unidentified edition of the work (which differ from both the 1865 and Ward's 1913 combined 1864-65 edition paginations). Just one more mystery in this most mysterious Stadium Absurdum.

In his provocative new show, Bad Faith, celebrated solo artist Mike Daisey sinks his teeth into a harsh reality: Bad faith is becoming more rampant in today’s culture. From the president and our politics to climate and corporate rule, Daisey unpacks how bad faith - a twisted kind of deception - spreads, why people choose bad faith over goodwill, and how this growing epidemic impacts our lives.

It would be too easy to turn the whole gaslighting theme on him, but it’s more a question of a cemented ideological worldview.
