On this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by Dr. Steven Garber, author, professor, and founder of Wedgwood Circle. Together they discuss the concept of the public square as a microcosm of the proximate, where individual lives, community responsibilities, and shared values intersect. Garber emphasizes the importance of the public square as a space for ethical and moral development, as well as the pursuit of the common good. He also shares his experiences in Central Europe after the fall of communism and the ongoing struggles faced by the people there.
