Lehrgut Blog

Great piece Péter; as an unredeemable perennialist I appreciate your noting that the importance of certain topics can at least in part be judged by how many diverse contexts in which they arose, while grudgingly acknowledging that it’s also important to focus on differences in approach to those topics. 

And  your encouragement for non experts to incorporate material from other traditions than their own reminded me of what a healthy dose of humility on the part of the instructor can add to a course. I once taught a graduate physics course for which I was an expert on the background material but which headed into current research territory for which I wasn’t an expert. That was a pretty exhilarating experience all around (though quite a bit of work !).

Though I found it odd that you would recommend podcasts as a resource for implementing these ideas…
