VP of the Ciceronian Society, Josh Bowman, talks with Landon Loftin of the Gravitas Prep School ( https://gravitas.sbs.org/ ) , regarding his book co-authored with Max Leyf on Owen Barfield: What Barfield Thought: An Introduction to the Work of Owen Barfield (Cascade Books) https://wipfandstock.com/9781666736762/what-barfield-thought/ 

Owen Barfield (1898–1997) was a close friend of C.S. Lewis and a member of The Inklings, a group which also included J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams among other literary luminaries. He was a prolific author throughout his long life, and was known as a philosopher of the “evolution of consciousness,” a great reader of S.T. Coleridge, and a central figure sharing the movement called “anthroposophy” with the English-speaking world. Visit his literary estate to learn more: https://www.owenbarfield.org/
