About this listen
This week the ladies of the Mosaic Ark welcomed Professor Robert J. Dobie aboard to discuss his book The Fantasy of J.R.R. Tolkien, Mythopoeia and the Recovery of Creation. Dobie is a Professor and Chair of Philosophy at LaSalle University in Philadelphia. He specializes in the medieval philosophers, but has had a fascination with Tolkien since he first read The Lord of the Rings when he was twelve. Professor Dobie believes that, though Tolkien was not a philosopher, his works contain many elements of philosophy. He also believes this makes a compelling argument that poetry and fiction are the best ways to explain the deeper meanings of life. Professor Fulton Brown, like Professor Dobie, had a similar beginning to her Academic journey having read Tolkien at age eleven, and they had much shop to talk on the subject of the philosophy underlying Tolkien’s work! KC just enjoyed riding the streams of consciousness and story! — Streamed October 10, 2025
