Dr. Stephen Blackwood: Philosopher, cultural critic and founder of Ralston College. 


Jordan Peterson and Dr. Stephen Blackwood discuss his work as a founder of an inner-city youth program and his experience with developing Ralston College in Savannah, Georgia. They have a rich discussion about the philosophical underpinnings of human flourishing, the University and the humanities, the spiritual-intellectual crisis of our times, and more.
