Ep. 46 – Daniel Foucachon on Old Western Culture and What it Means to Inherit the Humanities

Scott Postma January 19, 2024

This is Episode 46 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.

In this episode, Dr. Postma is joined by Daniel Foucachon, CEO of Roman Roads Press, to talk about Old Western Culture and what it looks like to be a classically educated entrepreneur and publisher of classical Christian curriculum. 

Old Western Culture is an expression coined by C. S. Lewis to talk about historical periods of time and the thinking and philosophies that influenced those periods. Taking a cue from Lewis’s observation, Daniel launched a Christian approach to the Great Books curriculum that has become the hub of Roman Roads Press and its growing curriculum and monograph publication arms.

Read C. S. Lewis’s essay, “De Descriptione Temporum,” where the term Old Western Culture was coined.
