Off and on, we will post interesting tidbits from Christopher Dawson, the main intellectual inspiration for this blog. Here is a great piece from Russell Hittinger describing Dawson's views on education and its role as a shaper of culture. In addition, I am also posting Dawson's essay "Civilization in Crisis". These essays are particularly poignant for the times.
Oh, and you might want to check out this two-part interview with Dawsonista Gerald Russello. A fine read and it hits on most of Dawson's major themes. It is a great introduction to this neglected thinker.
Here is another entitled, "Catholicism and the Bourgeois Mind". Enjoy!
