Ideas Have Consequences

The Wittenberg Hour begins a series on the writings of Richard M. Weaver.  Dr. James Tallmon joins The Wittenberg Hour to discuss the Introduction to Weaver's Ideas Have Consequences.

Episode questions: What is culture?  What has culture to do with the formation of man and especially the formation of scholars?  Why does what we study matter and how does what we study relate to culture?
