Why does the recognition of genius matter? Are there patterns to the people and moments where genius is most evident? In this podcast, as well as in their upcoming Foundational Studies Program course, Jim Stockton and Riley Caldwell-O’Keefe tackle these questions and others like them. Challenging students to investigate genius and formulate opinions about what they find intellectually compelling can provide key building blocks for the entire learning process. Listen to the podcast and learn more about the Rationalist viewpoint of genius as a non-physical, supernatural entity, as well as the opposing philosophy espoused by the Empiricists, who look at genius as a heightened manifestation of the human physical senses.
