We’re excited that you’ve joined the conversation! At HMU, we want to continue the great authors’ conversations in a contemporary context, and this blog will help us do that. We look back to Aristotle and the early philosophers who used reason and discourse to gain wisdom and now we endeavor to do the same every day.

Thanks to Alissa Simon, HMU Tutor, for today’s blog.
Last week was the first of four scheduled discussions of Harrison Middleton University’s film course on The Hollow Crown series. Ben Whishaw portrays Richard II in Shakespeare’s play by the same name. In it, Bolingbroke (Henry IV) steals the throne from Richard II. Shakespeare grants beautifully sad speeches of longing to Richard as he falls from grace.
