The Homecoming of Boethius: The Great Conversation and the Community of the Mind
Dr. Andrew Hayes
The centuries-spanning dialogue of the great thinkers, and your family's place in it.
Recorded live at Magna Conversatio 2026, CHECH's annual conference at the University of St. Thomas. Dr. Andrew Hayes takes Boethius, the imprisoned Roman philosopher consoled by Lady Philosophy, as his guide into the Great Conversation: the dialogue among the great minds of history that has carried the questions of truth, goodness, and human happiness across the centuries. He shows why this conversation forms the heart of classical education, and why families educating at home are uniquely positioned to enter it, reading the great books together, asking the great questions, and forming a true community of the mind around the family table.
