Greek Philosophy - 1956

Volume 16

Today we do not care for the Greek systems of philosophy, but we care terribly much for the philosophers. The Greek philosophers are the great argument in our fight for the truth of our own freedom, our own faith, and our own creativity. Every one of these men broke away from one system, which he inherited, you see, and began his own.

January 24, 1957

The major topics are: philosophy versus: prophecy, religion, the arts and sciences, prayer, and Christianity.
