Book | Inside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship | A Conversation with Author Jeffrey Scheuer | Redefining Society Podcast with Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Jeffrey Scheuer, Writer/Independent ScholarOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-scheuer-82443697/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDevo 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspdvweb_____________________________Episode IntroductionWelcome to this thought-provoking episode of the Redefining Society Podcast with your host, Marco Ciappelli. Prepare to dive deep into a compelling conversation that investigates the very bedrock of society — education. Is there something fundamentally amiss with how we're imparting knowledge to the next generation? Are we teaching them how to learn and critically think about what they're learning? Listen in as we explore these burning questions and more.In this episode, Marco engages in a riveting conversation with Jeffrey Scheuer, the author of "Inside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship." A book that ambitiously endeavors to merge the realms of liberal arts, critical thinking, and citizenship into a comprehensive whole in just under 200 pages. Jeffrey takes on the challenge of explicating the elusive nature of liberal arts, critical thinking, and their inherent connections, a task rarely undertaken in earnest.As you listen, contemplate Marco's ethos: he's not here to provide definitive answers but to encourage his audience to ponder different perspectives and cultivate their own thoughts. In a world where the term 'liberal' has become so politically charged, Jeffrey offers clarity by tracing its roots back to ancient Rome. 'Liberal arts,' he posits, originally meant 'the skills of a free citizen of the Roman Republic,' and miraculously, still carries that connotation. It's about citizenship, about the transactions between the individual and the community, and this conversation delves into what it truly means to be a good citizen.Today, in the age of information overload and evolving technological landscapes, are the education and media industries keeping pace? Are they fostering informed, enlightened citizens or merely consumers of information? What's the role of critical thinking in navigating the ceaseless waves of data and stimuli we encounter daily?Join us as we discuss these fascinating topics and more. Let's redefine society together. If this conversation makes you think, Marco has done his job. Share your thoughts, spread the conversation, and make sure to subscribe to the Redefining Society Podcast for more insightful discussions. Remember, we're here not just to consume information, but to critically think, engage, and shape the world around us. Let's start the journey.About the BookInside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship answers three highly topical and related questions:- What are the liberal arts?- What is critical thinking?- How are they connected?At a time when liberal education is on the defensive vis à vis the STEM disciplines, and its future is called into question, the terms ‘liberal arts’ and ‘critical thinking’ are often used in tandem but seldom explained. Inside the Liberal Arts provides an overview of the core ideas that enable students to become higher-level thinkers. Avoiding the excesses of much academic prose (narrowness of focus, turgidity, obscure and unnecessary terminology, the pretention of absolute authority, and over-sourcing), Inside the Liberal Arts answers the three questions above, for students, educators, and the wider community of aspiring critical thinkers. It is at once a deep exploration of the concept of the liberal arts, and an accessible, thought-provoking guide to critical inquiry for students, prospective students, graduate students, former students, adult learners, parents, and anyone interested in liberal learning.Defenders of the liberal arts perennially mention the importance of liberal learning to critical thinking and to citizenship. But there is no work that systematically explores the meaning of those ideas and how the liberal arts, critical thinking, and citizenship interconnect. As Mark Twain purportedly said of the weather: everyone complains about it, but nobody does anything about it.Inside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship does something about it.Examining the meaning of the term “liberal arts” and its roots in Greek and Roman thought, it goes on to explain how critical thinking unifies the modern liberal arts curriculum. As such, it is both an exploration of the nature of liberal learning and, integral to that, an accessible introduction to higher-level critical thinking for students, educators, and general readers.While Inside the Liberal Arts presents multiple themes and concepts, an overarching idea is that citizenship is essentially triangular, embracing civic, economic, and cultural dimensions that interrelate, and that the value of liberal education lies in preparing students for all three forms of citizenship.Inside the Liberal Arts distills four literatures: studies of the liberal arts; general books on thinking for lay readers; works on critical thinking; and philosophy. Its twin purposes are inseparable: to show how liberal learning promotes robust triangular citizenship, and to explain the concepts and ways of thinking that inform it. As a study of the role of thought in higher education, Inside the Liberal Arts addresses both general and academic readers in a way that will be both timely and enduring._____________________________ResourcesInside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship (Book): https://jeffreyscheuer.com/insidetheliberalarts____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode's spotlight shines on the multifaceted and eclectic artist Todd Gross, who is an embodiment of the interplay between music, literature, and theatre. Prepare yourself for a unique exploration of art, self-expression, and the pursuit of creative dreams, as Todd recounts his gripping tale.Venturing back in time, we revisit the electric atmosphere of New York City in the heyday of indie bands, where Todd's artistic journey began. Picture the exhilarating hustle of setting up for gigs at the infamous CBGBs in the wee hours of the morning, striving to leave an impact and draw a crowd. This evocative recollection paints a vivid picture of an artist's pursuit and the passion that fuels it.As the conversation progresses, we traverse Todd's creative evolution, witnessing his transition from the world of music to the realm of writing and theater. He opens up about his struggles and triumphs, from the exhilarating near-success of his first novel to the heartbreaking loss of his second. The discussion delves into the magic of theater and how it offers an interactive and rewarding creative process, with Todd's acclaimed play 'Them Within Us' serving as a highlight of his illustrious journey.Despite the inevitable challenges and disappointments that often accompany a creative path, Todd's spirit remained unbroken. When traditional human dramas failed to captivate producers, he harnessed his love for sci-fi and charted a new course. This led to the creation of 'Them Within Us,' a romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist that dared to ask profound questions about keeping love alive and vital.Beyond his work in theatre, Todd also guides us through his evolution as a writer, culminating in the creation of 'Loy in the Forest of the Mind,' a book that mirrors his personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. His narrative weaves together esoteric underpinnings, visceral experiences, and thought-provoking premises in a rich tapestry of human potential and consciousness.From band gigs at the break of dawn to captivating plays and introspective literature, Todd Gross' journey in the arts is a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and the exploration of self. It offers listeners a profound reflection on the transformative impact of art, both on its creators and its audience.Join Marco Ciappelli on this captivating journey through the labyrinth of art and self-discovery, one that will inevitably provoke thought, inspire conversation, and perhaps even spark your own creative flame.

The Rehloy are born blind and don't gain sight until they reach puberty. Learning of the world first through their other senses, creates such a high level of awareness in them that they border on the mystical.For a thousand years they have lived in isolation, developing a special relationship with nature. Theirs is a "spiritual" life, ethereal, in some ways divine. But the outside world is intruding. The trees have begun to whisper of change....On a distant shore, men whose technology is akin to the ancient Romans, have landed. Bent on conquest, they cut down trees, carve out roads, and begin to build a city.And so, the struggle between a shamanic-like culture and an industrial one begins.Loy is the story of a shaman, who must leave his homeland to discover the truth, and in so doing becomes its instrument.It is about a mother who sacrifices her freedom and sanity in order to save her unborn child. It is about a child born with excruciating sensitivities, whose pain eventually becomes a source of great strength.It is about monsters and madness, paradise found and lost. It is about the search for inner truth and a journey into the nature of mind and spirit._____________________________ResourcesLOY: In the forests of the mind (Book): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/loy-todd-david-gross/1143247063_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS0aVY7qlwHxX3uiN7tqqsyAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Fresh off the RSA Conference, Marco plunges us headfirst into a captivating conversation about smart cities - a blend of technology, reality, and just a dash of fantasy. This episode takes us on a virtual tour of Peachtree Corners, a city near Atlanta, Georgia, where the synergy between technology and humanity is transforming our vision of urban spaces.Here, Marco chats with Brandon Branham, City CTO and Assistant City Manager, who shares insights on the development of Peachtree Corners. A city that's only 10 years old, yet serves as a regional job hub, a startup incubator, and a smart city testbed. Branham’s journey, from being instrumental in the city's formation to now steering its innovation initiatives, is bound to spark your curiosity.Branham details the meticulous work that goes into retrofitting an existing city with modern technologies, creating a walk phase for emerging tech to coexist and evolve within an urban environment. This isn't merely a discussion about smart cities; it's about seeing the tangible transformations brought by technology, improving daily life, enhancing public services, and redefining our notion of city living.This episode promises to reveal a myriad of smart city initiatives – from smart parking systems that help manage event congestion, sensors in trash cans to optimize waste management, to water sensors in fire hydrants that aid in preserving water resources and managing theft. Furthermore, you'll learn how the city is using technology to enhance pedestrian safety, a vital aspect of city planning often overlooked.But the journey doesn’t stop there. As Marco and Branham delve deeper, they also explore the role of decision-making in smart city planning. Who gets to decide the path a city takes as it integrates technology into its infrastructure? How are city-wide, holistic decisions made, and who has a say in these choices?This podcast episode is a must for everyone passionate about envisioning and creating a more technologically integrated, human-centric future. So sit back, relax, and let Marco and Brandon guide you through the winding streets of Peachtree Corners. You'll discover a city that, though young, holds valuable lessons for all of us about the symbiosis of technology and society.Let this conversation inspire you to think about our smart cities' future, and how we can shape technology to improve our lives rather than letting it dictate our future.
