Dissident Mama, episode 6 – Dr. Donald Livingston

Episode 6 features Dr. Donald Livingston, founder of the Abbeville Institute and Professor Retired of Philosophy at Emory University. Livingston received his doctorate at Washington University in 1965, and has been a fellow for the National Endowment Independent Studies and the Institute of Advanced Studies in the humanities at the University of Edinborough. He has served on the editorial board of Hume Studies and Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

Livingston’s books include “Hume’s Philosophy of Common Life” and “Philosophical Melancholy and Delirium.” He contributed to and edited “Rethinking the American Union for the 21st Century” and is currently finishing up the book “Why Some Americans Need To Believe the War Was About Slavery and Why America is Again Coming Apart Today.”

It was a tremendous honor to interview Dr. Livingston, who is both a humble gentleman and a brilliant stalwart for truth. In our talk, he discusses Southern tradition, secession, the myth of equality, how the War wasn’t about slavery, faith, and much more. I pray you all will learn from Livingston, just as I always do.

Other books mentioned in the podcast include “North Over South: Northern Nationalism and American Identity in the Antebellum Era,” “Nullification and Secession In Modern Constitutional Thought,” and “Who Owns America?: A New Declaration of Independence.”
