Author and professor of government, philosophy, and civic leadership at the University of Texas at Austin, J. Budziszewski joins us to discuss what he calls “A Pandemic of Lunacy,” examining the moral and cultural confusion he believes has gripped modern society. Drawing from his background in natural law and classical philosophy, Budziszewski explores how reason, conscience, and common sense have been sidelined in today’s public discourse. He argues that many of the social and political upheavals we’re witnessing stem not just from policy disagreements, but from deeper philosophical errors about truth, human nature, and moral responsibility. In this conversation, he challenges listeners to think critically about the cultural moment and consider how enduring principles can offer clarity in chaotic times.
