My guest today is Stephen Blackwood, philosopher and president of Ralston College, a new liberal arts college in Savannah, Georgia. We spoke about the failings of modern architecture, the West's spiritual crisis following the Second World War, and the veneration of subversion for the sake of subversion.Â

04:44 Architecture and the human body
16:22 Believing that subversion is a good thing
20:52 Why has subversion become so popular?
30:00 A denial of bad architecture
