Leisure: The Basis of Culture | 025 - a podcast by Isaac and Dan(iel)

We're back with a text-based episode, this time with a translation of Josef Pieper's classic 1948 essay, "Leisure: The Basis of Culture." At the center of our conversation are several important questions: How is our understanding of the human being correspond with our understanding of work and leisure? Where do we locate the completion (or perfection) of work itself? And when all is said and done, is there any hope of escaping the state of "total work" in which so many of us find ourselves?

This episode also contains good coffee.
