This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit andrewsullivan.substack.comAurelian is a political scientist and professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. His two most recent books are A Virtue for Courageous Minds: Moderation in French Political Thought and Faces of Moderation: The Art of Balance in an Age of Extremes. His forthcoming book is Why Not Moderation?: Letters to Young Radicals. If you think you know what moderation is, Aurelian will surprise you. Not mushy; not vague; not the median: it's a political temperament and philosophy with its own distinctive heritage. We talk of Raymond Aron and George Orwell, Albert Camus and Michael Oakeshott, Isaiah Berlin and Adam Michnik. And why we need these kinds of thinkers today.For two clips of our convo — on whether the right or left is more of a threat to moderates, and why moderates oppose the notion of salvation — pop over to our YouTube page. Other topics: Aurelian growing up in communist Romania near Ukraine; his five key principles of moderation; the French philosopher Raymond Aron and his rivalry with Sartre; Camus and Orwell as men of the left whom leftists hated; Isaiah Berlin and pluralism; Tocqueville, Judith Shklar, and Montaigne; relativism vs. skepticism; Keynes, and how liberty and equality are not incompatible; Machiavelli and the role of luck in politics; Oakeshott, politics as the art of improvisation; Adam Michnik's courage in dark times; Plato on when moderation is not a good thing; MLK's critique of moderates, Flight 93 elections, the Benedict Option, the cancel culture of the right, Oscar Wilde and the need for relaxed humor in politics.

Sean Illing talks with author Thomas Chatterton Williams about race and identity in America. Thomas has analyzed racial identity through the lens of his own upbringing, and the performativity and pressures he experienced. In conversation with Sean, Thomas speaks about how he sees these identities as restrictive connections to the racial oppressions of the past, whether it's possible to achieve liberation without sacrificing solidarity, and on the complex interplay between race and class.

Can we change the world?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesCamus and Kafka have both been central to 20th century writing and thought. Both wrote about the relationship of the individual to society. But they had very different visions. Camus saw the individual as having the power to change and influence society. While Kafka honed in on the limitations of the individual to change anything and the power of the state and social organisation.Who got it right? Should we follow Camus and see freedom and the ability to change the world as essential to the human condition? Or is this an illusion, and instead recognise that we are limited by culture, upbringing, and organisation, so that there is no room left for the lone individual to alter and change the character of society or the course of their lives?There are thousands of big ideas to discover at IAI.tv – videos, articles, and courses waiting for you to explore.

Every evening Sock and various companions meet at the park to go for a walk and discourse on a variety of lofty topics. Art. Religion. The Meaning of Life. On this particular evening, cold and blustery, it appears it will only be Sock and his faithful hound Sally. But just as they set off, a young woman appears and together the trio ambles up Lyceum Hill. Soon talk turns to Camus' Four Conditions for Happiness. These conditions—live as much as possible in the open air, abandon ambition, love lustfully, and live creatively—are discussed with great enthusiasm. But suddenly this newest member of The Walking Philosopher's Club bids her farewell and vanishes into thin air. Was she ever really on the walk? Or had Sock conjured her up in his imagination? Does it matter? Does such a phenomenon as reality even exist? Join the walk and see what you think. simpson-books.com

One great thing about our age is that humanism and scientism have sown the seeds for the return of faith. Let me explain. One of the mantras of modern education, especially in America, is: “Question Everything.” This has become a commandment, right after the first commandment of “Believe in Yourself.” Surely, the first commandment of modernity is “Thou shalt have no gods before Thy Self.” Through life experience, study, and observing others who follow this commandment, who believe in themselves, I have found this first modern commandment to be a tragic falsehood. Twenty years of personal research proved it to me. I really, really tested that commandment, and believing in myself led to every one of my problems. So that one had to go. But the second commandment of “Question Everything” remained stuck in my head for a while, and since God gave us brains to use, I did. Instead of subscribing to what academics and celebrities said, I started looking beyond what had been spoon-fed to me my whole life, starting with the history of the early Church. Reading material from the early Church is extremely enlightening, much more than anything I learned from the Enlightenment thinkers. In fact, because the first commandment of our time is false, this second commandment of questioning all that we know, led me right back to questioning all of the things I learned from teachers, professors, television, and even coaches. The funny thing about commandments is that there is an order to them, and badly ordered commandments make the whole structure crumble. Growing up, we are forced to listen to the sales pitch and watch the demo for the product that educators and screen magicians want us to buy. All children must go through this, even through their college years, and the aim is like any other sales pitch: to conform our minds and thoughts and ideas to the pitch and the demo. The Church once held this role of indoctrination of children, but the government took it over, really wresting it away from believers entirely, and making sure that anyone with faith was locked out of the school building. The new sheriff in town didn't believe, and it was imperative that parents or children that did believe, keep quiet about it, and like every modern HR department, the order to “shutup” is done using a very honeyed voice, with sugary arguments and niceties. However, the result is the same as if a drill sergeant has shouted it in your face. You are not to discuss faith, because the supernatural is not real, and speaking of such things will not be tolerated - not in public schools! The reason for the shunning of the supernatural is because that product has attributes that the school's product lacks. That product may appeal and detract from the mainstream sales pitch and demo. In the sales world, salespeople study “kill sheets” which is a list of arguments to kill questions about a competitor's product. I've seen these kill sheets and added notes to them, about why my company's products are superior, and that choosing the other company's product surely leads to the road to ruin. This is basically how apologetics works for Christians, Protestants, and atheists as well, where one side has it's “kill sheets” when someone starts suggesting another option, like for example, “What about Mormonism? I've heard that's good.” The salesperson goes to his kill sheet and says, “Yes, that is an option. Here's fifteen reasons why it's not for you.”The point of having a public education is supposed to be about enabling a workforce to build a strong nation. But it's become more about buying the school's product. As I said in a long post before, you will be indoctrinated to something. That is unavoidable. Moreover, after your indoctrination is complete, much of your life will be figuring it out and wondering if what you were indoctrinated into is the actual truth. Most people will never even learn how far down the indoctrination rabbit-hole they are, unless they turn off their devices and take a hard look back at the guidance they received. In case you are unaware, the purpose of the devices and the dancing images is precisely so that you do not begin to ask those questions. The commandment of “Believe in yourself” precludes the second commandment of “Question Everything” if in your questioning you come to question the first commandment. This is kind of like Isaac Asimov's laws of robotics. First LawA robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.Second LawA robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Likewise, in the laws of modern indoctrination, since the human self is a god, questioning everything is permitted, so long as questioning the principle of “Self as god” is not questioned. There is even a third law, which I have to marvel at. Asimov was an atheist, and he kind of nailed the worldview that I was taught. Third LawA robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.In these laws, a human is sacred and the robot is a slave. The sacred thing must be protected at all costs, even if suicide of the slave is needed. Finally, obedience to all orders from the sacred things must be followed. Likewise, the first commandment of the “Self is god” is unassailable by the lesser laws, such as “Question Everything.” The goal of any indoctrination is to build a wall around you, so that you become a disciple who will not even consider other products. Because if you buy the product that the pitch and demo are indoctrinating you into, you will use it for the rest of your life. If you believe that the Self is a god, then the hope is that you will stick with that idea for the rest of your life. It's pitched to us as the only option, like fear-based advertising for life insurance. “Believe in yourself” is pitched in the same way that a salesman will suggest that there's nothing else in the warehouse and this is the only one in stock, so you'd better take it; and that the other models have been discontinued and are all recalled as defective. That is exactly the message taught about Catholicism - that it's no longer for sale, because it stopped working for people. The odd thing about Catholicism is that it was never pitched or demonstrated in the same way to me. There is no smoke and mirrors, even if there is incense sometimes at Mass. It's all laid out in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Church doors are often not even locked, even when no one is around. It was the opposite of robotic. There was nothing coercive about it. There is not even any trickery. It's not a car that is being sold, it's something different. It's not my “Self” being sold to me, it's bigger. To be human, "man's response to God by faith must be free, and. . . therefore nobody is to be forced to embrace the faith against his will. The act of faith is of its very nature a free act." "God calls men to serve him in spirit and in truth. Consequently they are bound to him in conscience, but not coerced. . . This fact received its fullest manifestation in Christ Jesus." Indeed, Christ invited people to faith and conversion, but never coerced them. "For he bore witness to the truth but refused to use force to impose it on those who spoke against it. His kingdom. . . grows by the love with which Christ, lifted up on the cross, draws men to himself." (CCC 160)So once I bought the product of the “Self,” after high school and college the product, I had to put that product into usage. I suppose I knew early on that the product from the pitch and the demo wasn't working very well, but teachers and elders and newsmen and movie stars kept assuring me that this was the way. Perhaps I was just using the product incorrectly. I just wasn't believing in myself enough. Quite honestly, everything did go well for me, but luckily I had one glaring flaw in alcohol usage that revealed to me the gaping hole in my indoctrination of the “Self as god.”Once the professors faded away, and I finally started to turn off the screens around me, the product I had bought proved to be a real lemon. For all of us, life is the proving ground. Life is not a book or a lab experiment or a demonstration. It is real. Bad ideas and bad patterns of living surface eventually. They cannot be hidden forever. No matter how shiny, no matter how many people are nodding at you in assurance, a bad product tattles on itself. When you go to use the product that promised strength and direction on a dark and cold night, and it doesn't work, you know the truth because you are sitting in the dark and cold, and the “Self as god” can do nothing. The Self proves to be a useless god.But it wasn't only personal experience that showed the broken springs in the lessons of humanism and scientism. The problems were everywhere. I actually tried to ignore the obvious problems, because I wanted to believe my indoctrination. But observing macro issues happening in the wider world, which seemed to mirror my personal micro-revelations, I saw the same gaping hole happening on a larger scale that I discovered on the dark and cold night . Many of our current problems, particularly the threat of nuclear war, the disintegration of the family, the numerous eco-disasters, and the Covid virus itself, are a direct result of our choosing the way of Prometheus over the way of Christ. (Yes, I for one am done pretending that the virus didn't come from a lab. That “wet market” pitch didn't win me over from the start.) There was no doubt that a free-will choice happened before I was born, on a national scale. I use the Atom Bomb as a point of inflection. It's a fine explosion to mark the change in direction, where technology became a god to us. Honestly, I think the fire started much earlier, even way before 1776. The explosion happened when we ate the apple or separated from apes - however you want to interpret it, the difference between animals and humans is clear, and the “Fall of Man” is the best answer available. You can deny God all you like. The fact of sin remains, and is truly the one provable fact in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. There was a Fall. Something is wrong with humans. Everyone has a flaw, a struggle, a dysfunction. Even Billy Joel acknowledges this in his history lesson called, We Didn't Start the Fire. So who did start the fire? Prometheus did. Or he is the one of the stories we use for where our problems came from. Sometimes his theft is portrayed as good thing. He was the ancient symbol of technology and human advancement. In the Bible, it's Cain, whose descendants built the first city and weapons. Both of these guys believed in themselves. When he chose to steal the fire from the gods, Prometheus certainly believed in himself. He may have even questioned why he shouldn't have fire. Oddly enough, questioning everything is exactly how the serpent in the garden lured Eve into eating from the forbidden tree. And even if Prometheus' intentions were good (I'm unconvinced), those scientists in Los Alamos who tinkered with physics to produce the atom bomb also believed they had good intentions. But like Prometheus, what was loosed into the world led to far greater problems, the biggest of which was fear and doubt. Fear and doubt lead to disenchantment. Fear of man overtakes fear of God. Doubt over God leads to faith in the self, or groupings of selves that will remove the fear. That was the mistake. And it's a huge error. It's the error that leads to all others. Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Mt 10:28) The mantra of “Self as god” and “Question Everything” gets its wings in every age, just as surrender to Christ does. Affluence doesn't save you from fear. Pleasure doesn't either. Power? Not even close. If you have power, you are more fearful than the person with nothing. Because with the atom bomb, the United States had found power. But so did others, and it led to a fearful era in the fifties, leading to the hedonism of the sixties, the aimlessness of the seventies, the greed of the eighties, the nihilism of the nineties, and the internet age of narcissism and isolation today. And now we need a way out. We've painted ourselves into a corner, a lonely corner, where the light of our device only lasts as long as the battery. Technology went into hyperdrive and the message of the “Self as god” became louder and louder, because the technology carried the message, suggesting it at every waking moment, asking us the whole time the classic phrases from Genesis 3: “Did God really say that? Are you sure God said that?” and “He just doesn't want you to become like him.” Thus came the long march to meaninglessness that Nietzsche and Camus and Sartre and other philosophers saw coming. Meaninglessness is simple to explain. It's Godlessness. Meaninglessness happens because the Self is not a real god. It's a fake. The funny thing, however, of all this messaging and indoctrination is this: questioning everything is exactly what will lead you right back to the truth, and that truth is God. The truth is that the self is not-God. As the saying goes, the farther you run from God, the more likely you'll run right into the arms of God. The goals of the Renaissance, in its attempt to re-invigorate the world and ideas of classical Greece and Rome, were human-focused rejections of the long, successful, sustainable journey of Christianity through almost every culture in the world. The success of Christianity is hard to fathom or explain, given what it appears to offer externally, which is self-denial and humility. Its great sales pitch was the life of Christ and the demonstrations came through martyrdoms, which hardly seem appealing to humans who shun any and all discomfort and pain. Yet it drew people to Jesus. Self-denial instead of self-determination drew people in droves, because they saw something worth living for, and death, the great fear, no longer mattered because something greater was being given to all.

I always sensed that something wasn't right. I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse. But even as a kid, I knew that something didn't feel right. It was a sense of incompleteness. Heck, I'm not sure if anyone did. But something was amiss. Something was out of order. I couldn't put my finger on it so I went looking for who might know the answer. I thought maybe Protestants knew, or atheists, or academics, or Buddhists, or workaholics, or athletes, or bums, or wildlings who closed the bars down. The search went on and on. But no matter where I explored, something wasn't quite right. What seemed to be happening all around me was a big show, a play, or a circus, with everyone in masks, and they were all pretending there wasn't a giant hole inside them. This giant hole, the Big Empty, is what drove me to search, and when I found that I couldn't fill it, I tried to fence it off, ignore it, yell at it, mock it, throw stones at it, drug it, intellectualize it, and weep at it. None of that worked either. And none of the solutions on offer could solve the disease either. Until I began to separate the tales of Hollywood, media, my teachers, my college professors, my Christian friends, my non-Christian friends, my co-workers, and my own reading, only then did I even begin to parse what the heck was missing. And a giant portion of that was figuring out what the heck the word God even meant, which required prayer, reading, and action to even get a match burning in the Big Empty. I began to understand the uneasy feeling when I realized I had been ignoring half of myself. Really, I was missing both halves of myself, because they were like estranged spouses, living separately but in the same house. They certainly weren't talking. The two halves I'm talking about are body and soul. The post-mortem of my first death revealed that I'd undergone a common pair of modern surgeries, which go undetected in many. These surgeries happen without us knowing, as the surgeons serve in unsuspicious places, often as helpers and guides rather than body snatchers or soul stealers. I had undergone the twin amputations. My soul had been surgically removed by a careful materialist unbelief, using the scalpel of what I thought were logical arguments. The other amputation came more like a dismemberment. My body had been ripped away from the spirit and the spirit ripped away from the body. Being amputated two ways obviously left me incomplete, and I was crawling about like the Terminator's hand in the final scene of the movie, where Linda Hamilton tries to crawl away from the crazed robot, animated by a programmed compulsive mania. I was that crazed robot-hand, intent on living, not knowing why, except for goals, going on seek and destroy missions. I was half a human being. I was a robot arm, bent on destruction, clamoring toward Linda Hamilton. The slicing and dicing of body and soul left me fragmented, because in atheist unbelief I was all body. Without the supernatural, we really are just a “clump of cells” or a “bag o' chemicals.” The mantra of our time is self-determination and “my truth.” Why? Because if we're just a pile of cells, then we are nothing but matter, and therefore, nothing matters. That's the ugly secret of pure reason. The real reason that abortion is no big deal to some people is because they don't believe in a soul, and it was no big deal to me when I lived in body-alone robot mode. Euthanasia? Shoot, shoot me up, doc. What's the big deal? Of course it doesn't matter if you kill yourself when there is no afterlife. The only life worth living is a life without pain, since pain is the great evil. Suffering - now there is a reason to doubt God! And when the body is just a bunch of wriggling, jiggling atoms, dumping that body has as much meaning as turning off a light switch. Here today, gone tomorrow. As the always depressing Albert Camus once infamously said, “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.” On the flip side of that, you had Archbishop Fulton Sheen, in the same century, telling the world that, “Life is worth living,” and he seemed much happier.When materialism and unbelief forms the centerpiece of your worldview, life is kind of like how men see college girls in Girls Gone Wild videos. There's no humanity in a clump of cells because it's only body - there's no soul, so what's the difference if it dies? Pleasure becomes the only good, and pain the only evil. Epicurus and Marcus Aurelius lived in this space, with quite different interpretations on how to live with that problem. Camus himself decided that suicide was no good because…well, who cares? Honestly, when that is your number one philosophical problem, you know something is horribly wrong. The Big Empty owns you. When I think of how much ink has been spilled over Camus and this problem, I shudder more than I do after a full day of ice fishing. On the other side, there was a different problem. It was called faith alone. I've belabored this terribly by now. When I dabbled in that, I felt like I was all soul, or worse, mind alone, and that is a lonely and awful place to be. I recently read something from the celebrated atheist and transhumanist evangelist Yuval Harari, who said that Jews and Christians were only worried about the soul. Classic attack angle, Yuval! Except for it's the same old attack that never works. Like Judas, he is disappointed that Jesus didn't solved all earthly suffering. Like the Jews, Yuval wanted a political and military messiah. It's hard to believe people are still making this same error, but they do every day. Clearly Yuval and others have never read the Apostles' Creed or the Catechism of the Catholic Church, because God refutes our expectations. See, God can be postmodern, too! This world is not yet transformed, since we are in the messianic age. But the body will be resurrected. The glory will come. And in Catholicism, the body is good, our suffering here is transformed, and when we die, that isn't the last day of these bones. Mr. Harari has the same incomplete understanding of Christianity that I once did. If we are only worried about our souls, then we really don't need arms and legs, because salvation of the soul is the primary concern, and we're not required to carry out any actions in this world. Yuval's disappointment is in Christians that don't do enough here in this world. This is why Catholicism has the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We are body and soul, hence we must pray and act. That is not a requirement in the Protestant world. I mean, it's cool if you do nice things for people, but always optional, because “Once saved, always saved” absolves you of works. And that in a nutshell is why Protestantism never sat well with me. Really, it's the same reason that Yuval dislikes about Christians. It's just too bad he doesn't understand Catholicism. As I've mentioned, a brain in a jar can satisfy the requirements of “faith alone.” A printer can spew out a message saying, “I accept Jesus as my personal savior,” and if that is the only requirement, can we really argue that the printer is any more sincere than a bad Christian who claims the same? Thank God we are not robots. Thank God we are not just bodies, and not just souls. The whole idea of the imago Dei, of being made in the image and likeness of God, means that God made us like him, body and soul, and that all that he created….…is good. Jesus is God. Jesus became a human. The Protestant idea of total depravity or that we are a “dung hill covered in snow” - that doesn't dovetail with Catholic doctrine, be it the imago Dei, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, or John Paul II's Theology of the Body.I think the letter from James (the one that Luther tried to throw out of the Bible), contains the sentence that distills the truth of this lengthy article about what makes me whole: “For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26) Dead. Body alone = death. Spirit alone = death. Faith alone = death. Works alone = death. This is why pure reason or pure faith, with either one on a lonely island, leads to the same thing: death. To me, that is the summary judgment against both Protestantism and atheism (and its subtypes like liberalism, humanism, Marxism, scientism, positivism, or wokeism). Both of those great trends of the last 500 years slice us in right in half, separating body from soul. That's what I'm trying to get at, in my excessive and overly-verbose manner. A separated body and soul results in death. It doesn't matter which way you slice, one without the other means that both are dead. (This idea will help a lot when you get to the most confusing line in Catholic theology, the second to last line in the Apostle's Creed, which is that we believe in the “Resurrection of the body.” This confusing and often-overlooked phrase cannot be skipped or left out, because… This is why I am Catholic: it makes me whole, both body and soul. That is the short summary. What I always felt was missing, that critical missing piece, that could never fulfill the Big Empty - that hole is gone, because I am once again whole. Returning to the faith of a child seems to be figuring out how to become whole, and it means believing in both body and soul. But it's more than a feeling. The band Boston sang about it, but didn't quite capture what I mean by “more than a feeling.” This wholeness comes from reason, experience, feelings, body, blood, soul and divinity. (Useless aside: No wonder the lyrics of the Boston song are so depressing: “More Than a Feeling” mentions only feelings, experience of loss, and sensory things; not once does the song mention body, blood, soul, and divinity.) The faith of the Apostles, in its fullness, is something total and beautiful. The Catholic Church appreciates both body and soul, faith and works. It believes in both the divine and the human. We seek to know both nature and grace. Faith is an act of submitting both our intellect and our will. The Eucharist is both bread and wine. It is also body and blood, soul and divinity. We are both fallen and redeemable. There is a visible and invisible world that we live in. We must live with both faith and reason. I am both a sinner and can be saved through God's grace. We are both matter and form. We have fasting and feasting. Baptism has both a physical action and a spiritual effect. Forgiveness requires both confession and penance. There is song and prayer. There is silence and celebration. What I'm trying to say is this: Catholicism is truly a both/and religion, not an either/or. And having gone on the wild goose chase of life, I reject the separation of body and soul as much as I reject that Jesus was just a wise teacher rather than both fully God and fully man. This is the key, of course. But once you spend time reading or hearing the Gospel, the day may come when you suddenly know, as much as you know that 2+2=4, that Jesus is God. As an unbeliever, I “knew” that Jesus was not God, and now I “know” that he is. This is a public episode.

Hi, I'm Christy Shriver. We're here to discuss works that have changed the world and have changed us. And I'm Garry Shriver, and this is the How to Love Lit Podcast. Today we are going to start our two part series on a Jewish Sacred Text known to those in the Christian tradition as the Book of Ecclesiastes and for those of the Jewish tradition as Qoheleth. The traditional scholarship, both Christian and Jewish, of the book suggests that it was written by Solomon, the son of David whose reign was from 970 to 931 BCE- give or take a few years. But, as we must assume with any piece of text this old, there is no consensus as to the dating of the book, if King Solomon wrote it, or even IF he even lived. True, but even if you could find agreement on those points- which is no small thing actually an impossibility- but even if you could- it is still one of the most problematic books in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Qoheleth, as the writer identifies himself in the book, says things that seem to contradict traditional religious beliefs and even appear self-contradictory within the book itself. Actually, the book is FULL of apparent contradictions, certainly complicated tensions. In many ways, Qoheleth sounds very much like Albert Camus and parts of it have been compared to Camus' Myth of Sisyphus. Absurdism, as Camus expresses it in his writings and as we talked about when we discussed The Stranger, can be seen as even dialoguing with the writer of Ecclesiastes, even agreeing when talking about the contradictions inherent in being human. But, even if we got past all of that, if we accept that King Solomon lived as Scripture says he does, and we can trace a line of reasoning in this complicated book (which I do and claim right now that we can) we also must wrestle with the idea King Solomon, as a person, is one of the more problematic heroes to populate the pages of the Christian and/or Jewish Canon. He was a great political leader and prophet during his lifetime. Men came by the thousands to listen to his wisdom, and he built a great empire. Problematically, though, it didn't last past his lifetime as a direct consequence of the choices he made in his personal life, not his professional one. His legacy was a kingdom that disintegrated immediately after his death. The Bible says his heart was not loyal to the Lord, that he did evil in the sight of the Lord to the point that God ripped, and I quote the Bible here “his vast kingdom from him and give it to his servant”. So, there you go, as a hero, King Solomon gets mixed reviews- he's a contradiction. And yet, his books on wisdom stand on their own merit and have for over 3000 years- there is the one he wrote on romance, Song of Solomon, another on practical life called Proverbs and this third one that we're discussing, Ecclesiastes which is a work of deep philosophy. Just like, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes is full of maxims or quotable lines that you could put on t-shirts and sell, and we probably should, I'm pretty sure the copyright restrictions have expired. His statements of truth resonate, as you would expect with Christians, Jews, and Muslims, because he's an acknowledged prophet in those traditions, but remarkably his ideas also resonate with Atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, and others from a variety of worldviews. So, this episode and next, we will jump into Jewish wisdom literature and find the common ground made famous by Qoheleth…as the writer of Ecclesiastes identifies himself in the text.

Fulvio Ferrari"Breve è la vita di tutto quel che arde"Stig DagermanIperborea https://iperborea.comPer la prima volta tradotta in italiano, un'antologia che dà conto di circa dieci anni di attività poetica di Stig Dagerman. «Un giorno all'anno si dovrebbe immaginare / la morte chiusa in una scatoletta bianca. / A nessuna illusione si dovrebbe rinunciare, / nessuno morrebbe per quattro dollari in banca. // (…) Nessuno vien bruciato all'improvviso / e nessuno per strada ha da crepare. / Certo, è menzogna, son del vostro avviso. / Dico soltanto: Possiamo immaginare.» Stig Dagerman espresse anche in versi la vicinanza agli ultimi e l'umanesimo dolente che in una continua tensione tra speranza e disincanto attraversano la sua multiforme opera in prosa. Negli anni 1944-47 e 1950-54, fino al giorno prima di morire, scrisse per il giornale anarchico Arbetaren oltre 1300 dagsedlar, poesie satiriche a commento della cronaca politica e sociale che con il loro tono diretto contribuirono a fare di Dagerman un riferimento identitario per i giovani libertari della sua generazione. Il metro è per lo più tradizionale, quasi da filastrocca, ma la giocosità della rima e del ritmo potenzia per contrasto la durezza dei contenuti: gli accordi della «democratica» Svezia con la Spagna di Franco, i senzatetto di Stoccolma lasciati al freddo, i bambini armati per combattere le guerre dei grandi. Ai brevi componimenti di denuncia, questo volume affianca una scelta di versi in cui la forma irregolare insieme alla riflessione sulla condizione umana, pur sempre intrecciata all'impegno politico, avvicina l'autore alle avanguardie internazionali e ben accoglie simboli e metafore della sua narrativa. Una lettura toccante che aggiunge un tassello significativo al ritratto di uno sperimentatore instancabile al quale ancora oggi s'ispirano scrittori, giornalisti e musicisti di tutta Europa.Fulvio Ferrari (Milano, 1955), professore ordinario di Filologia germanica all'Università di Trento, è traduttore dal tedesco, dalle lingue scandinave (svedese, norvegese, danese e islandese) e dal nederlandese dagli anni Ottanta. Laureato in Lettere moderne presso la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, ha frequentato corsi di Lingua nederlandese e Lingue e Letterature scandinave all'Università degli Studi di Milano. Collabora con diverse case editrici, per le quali ha tradotto classici e premi Nobel, come pure voci di punta della narrativa contemporanea, tra cui – oltre a Stig Dagerman – Pär Lagerkvist, Cees Nooteboom, Knut Hamsun, Hans Christian Branner, Torgny Lindgren, Göran Tunström, Fredrik Sjöberg, Gerard Reve e le antiche saghe islandesi. Nel giugno 2016 gli è stato assegnato il Premio Gregor von Rezzori per la migliore opera di traduzione italiana.Stig DagermanAnarchico lucido e appassionato incapace di accontentarsi di verità ricevute, militante sempre in difesa degli umiliati, degli offesi e dell'inviolabilità dell'individuo, Dagerman appartiene alla famiglia dei Kafka e dei Camus e resta nella letteratura svedese una figura culto che non si smette mai di rileggere e riscoprire. Segnato da una drammatica infanzia, intraprende molto giovane una folgorante carriera letteraria bruscamente interrotta dalla tragica morte, lasciando quattro romanzi, quattro drammi, poesie, racconti e articoli che continuano a essere tradotti e ristampati. Iperborea ha pubblicato Il nostro bisogno di consolazione, Il viaggiatore, Bambino bruciato, I giochi della notte, Perché i bambini devono ubbidire?, La politica dell'impossibile, Autunno tedesco e Il serpente.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it

Taurus acaba de publicar Siete ensayos sobre la peste, el nuevo libro de Gamerro, en el que a partir de una lectura minuciosa de obras de la literatura, el cine y también de las artes visuales sin desdeñar las aristas filosóficas del tema, el autor busca desentrañar las claves históricas del momento que vivimos como humanidad desde el comienzo de la pandemia, en 2020. Con una erudición amable y cautivante, Gamerro nos lleva hacia un viaje por la historia de las epidemias y las pandemias -de los griegos a Defoe, Bocaccio y Camus hasta Thomas Mann o García Márquez, pasando por las películas de zombies- que es también un viaje al interior de las diferentes sociedades y culturas y, también, a nuestros propios miedos y reflexiones a partir la incertidumbre provocada por la el coronavirus En la sección Libros que sí Hinde recomendó “Animalia”, de Sylvia Molloy (Eterna cadencia) y “El mar nunca se acaba”, de Liliana Villanueva (Fruto de dragón).

Assoc. Prof. Matt Sharpe teaches philosophy at Deakin University, and since 2010 has increasingly been teaching Stoic contents, and engaging with modern Stoicism. He has appeared at Stoicon where he spoke on Stoicism and comedy, and has published widely on Albert Camus, including a piece on Camus and Stoicism to mark the 60th anniversary of his death (January 2020). Stoicism, Bullying and Beyond is the first book applying Stoic philosophy, and its extraordinary exercises in resilience and self-care, to the epidemic problem of bullying and 'mobbing'. Aimed preeminently at targets, it offers guidance on managing negative emotions, and making good decisions, in what for many people is the greatest challenge of their lives.

Ernst Winkler sehnt sich nach Anerkennung und Publicity und inszeniert dafür so manche skurrile Aktion. Sich selbst krönt er zum "Goldfüllfederkönig" von Wien, der die Polizei über Jahre in Atem hält. Doch er eskaliert immer mehr, und am Ende ist niemandem mehr zum Lachen zumute.
Kyle Harper is an historian who focuses on how humanity has shaped nature, and vice versa. He's a Professor of Classics and Letters at the University of Oklahoma and the author of several books, including The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire, and his latest, Plagues Upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History. His mastery of the science is only matched by the ease of his prose. If I were to nominate a book of the year, it would be this one (alongside Jamie Kirchick's Secret City).For two clips of our convo — on the zombie bloodsucking fleas of the Black Death, and on how Covid doomed the careers of Trump and Boris — pop over to our YouTube page.

Albert Camus fue, sin duda, uno de los grandes genios de la literatura universal. Novelista, ensayista, dramaturgo, filósofo y periodista, fue testigo de una época convulsa y llena de cambios. Las ideas marxistas y el idealismo humanista se extendían entre los intelectuales de toda Francia, mientras en su Argelia natal corrían los anhelos de descolonización y se sucedían las revueltas, que desembocarían en la cruenta y devastadora guerra de independencia argelina. Albert Camus nació en un barrio marginal. Era un ‘pied-noir', pobre, huérfano de padre e hijo de una mujer que no sabía ni leer ni escribir. Fue su maestro, el Sr. Germain, quien impulsó a este joven brillante a seguir estudiando. A él, al Sr. Germain, dedicó Camus su discurso al recibir el Premio Nobel en 1957. Su carta a su maestro es, muy probablemente, uno de los agradecimientos más bellos jamás dedicados a un docente. Camus fue un hombre solitario en su época, solidario y de ideas complejas. Su voz se apagó tristemente temprano, en un accidente de coche con tan solo 46 años. Pero su legado quedará vivo para siempre. En este vídeo, Catherine Camus y Elisabeth Maisondieu-Camus, hija y nieta de Albert Camus, repasan la vida y la obra de esta inolvidable figura para las letras y el pensamiento universal. Un bello homenaje para recordar, entre otras cosas, la inmensa importancia de la educación.

Born into a working-class family, Camus graduated from the university in Algiers and then worked with a theatrical company, becoming associated with leftist causes. He spent the war years in Paris, and the French Resistance brought him into the circle of Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialism. He became a leading literary figure with his enigmatic first novel, The Stranger (1942), a study of 20th-century alienation, and the philosophical essay “The Myth of Sisyphus” (1942), an analysis of contemporary nihilism and the concept of the absurd. The Plague (1947), his allegorical second novel, and “The Rebel” (1951), another long essay, developed related issues. Other major works include the short-story collection Exile and the Kingdom (1957) and the posthumous autobiographical novel The First Man (1994). His plays include Le Malentendu (1944) and Caligula(1944). Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. He died in a car accident.From https://www.britannica.com/summary/Albert-Camus.

Un Hermano gran pensador llamado Luis Pagolas me hizo la siguiente genial pregunta : En el mito de Sísifo Albert Camus dice que el suicidio es el único problema filosófico realmente serio y verdadero, pero luego se basa en el hecho de que el alcance de la vida tal como la conocemos está definido por el tiempo. Seguiría siendo el suicidio el único problema filosófico si tuviéramos un tiempo infinito? Supongo que Einstein podría haber tenido el mismo pensamiento. Para mí, ambos, Einstein y Camus, estaban tratando de responder la misma pregunta en sus propios términos cada uno. A uno se le ocurrió la relatividad.

"É preciso imaginar Sísifo feliz". No mito, Sísifo foi condenado pelos deuses a eternamente rolar uma pedra ao cume da montanha e vê-la cair para então recomeçar seu trabalho. Camus compara essa atividade repetitiva e sem sentido à experiência cotidiana da vida de qualquer um! Assim sendo, é melhor que imaginemos Sísifo feliz, porque nossa condição não é muito diferente da dele.

BCR hosts Rebecca and Alan spoke with actor Ronald Guttman after his one-actor performance in the play based on Camus' The Fall" at the Soho Playhouse bar. Matt -- the bartender -- talks about The Huron Club Bar [THC] -- which was also the set for the play and former speakeasy and brothel for Tammany Hall. THC Bar is an appropriate setting for Camus' final work -- "The Fall" (1956) -- which takes place at a "sailor's bar" in Amsterdam named renamed "Mexico City." Mr. Guttman talks about being up-close-and-personal with his audience as he roams through the audience as Jean Baptiste Clamence -- formerly a most successful attorney -- and now "judge-penitent. This is a play most appropriate for a time in need to self inspection. "The Fall" plays until mid November, 2022 at the Soho Playhouse in Manhattan.barcrawlradio@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
