Regents is excited to welcome Mr. Riley Lindsay (no relation to Amy Lindsey) as a new Logic and Rhetoric School humanities teacher. Mr. Lindsay was a Philosophy major at Hillsdale College where he fell in love with the Great Books.
"We are storytelling creatures," says Mr. Lindsay. "We make sense of our lives through narratives of the world. In answer to most questions, Christ told a story. I want students who know how to read a story, how to understand it, and how to make sense of the narratives they’re going to encounter in their lives and the narratives that they’re going to tell themselves about themselves."
"My students are going to be reading a lot of Great Books this year and that’s going to train them in that skill of reading and understanding narrative. They’re also going to see virtue and vice and great ideas played out through these texts, as virtues to emulate or vices to shun."
