Pandemic of Lunacy with Prof. J. Budziszewski

Our latest episode features a living legend and one of our oldest, closest friends at the James Wilson Institute, Prof. J. Budziszewski, on the occasion of the release of his new book Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy from Creed and Culture. In our conversation we will discuss his new book as well as his work at the intersection of Natural Law, constitutional law, and moral philosophy.

Budziszewski is a professor of government, philosophy, and civic leadership at the University of Texas at Austin. Internationally recognized for his work on natural law, self-deception, happiness, and ultimate purpose, he is widely read on the unraveling and possible restoration of our common culture. He is the author of twenty books. He has taught for more than four decades during which he has advised such fine graduate students as our own Senior Fellow Justin Dyer and Affiliated Scholar Paul DeHart. A former atheist who once denied not only the reality of God but also the reality of good and evil, he is a convert to Catholic Christianity.
