Kyle and Emily journey from ancient Greek philosophy to American transcendentalism, as they delve into the history of the Lyceum. Back in their old stompin’ grounds of ancient Greece, Kyle and Emily discover the connections between the god Apollo, the gymnasium, and the birth of academia. They also chat about the intellectual legacy of Aristotle and his impact on lecturing. Fast-forwarding a ways, they explore the American Lyceum movement, and its effect on 19th century transcendentalism. They look at figures like Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson: how they embraced the Lyceum, education, and self-reliance.
