Here, friends, is the continuation of my conversation with Paul Seaton & Carl Eric Scott on the greatest French thinker alive. Paul, the PoMoCon expert on Manent & translator of Manent, guides us through the structure & ideas of Metamorphoses of The City (2010), the masterwork of a political theorist that's somewhat Straussian. Carl, who's studied & taught Manent for a long time, also brings out the strange importance Rome & Cicero have in this book, on the question of human individuality outside of politics. & I asked them what about Augustine, why does Manent talk about him so much?
