Join host Garrett Snedeker for an interview with Spencer Klavan on his new book Light of the Mind, Light of the World. According to Klavan, for centuries, a grim anti-human outlook has taken hold of the public imagination, teaching us to view ourselves as random products of a cruel and uncaring natural world. The pursuit of scientific understanding of the material world has made mastery of nature and determinism the reigning orthodoxy.
Light of the Mind, Light of the World, Spencer’s new book, tells a daring new story about how we got here, and how we can chart a better path forward. He argues that science itself is leading us not away from God but back to him, and to the ancient faith that places the human soul at the center of the universe.

He is the author of the acclaimed book How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises and the editor of Gateway to the Stoics.
