I talk again with Landon Loftin and Max Leyf about the genius insight of Owen Barfield.
The Riddle of the Sphinx (Barfield Press) is a new collection of talks and essays about the great friend of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien.
We discuss Barfield's take on analysis and analogy, Darwinian and other kinds of evolution, the significance of Rudolf Stein, and Barfield's notion of final participation.
Landon and Max are the authors of What Barfield Thought.
