Podcasts about Disenchantment

Nathan and Cameron explore why modern culture is far less “disenchanted” than it claims, unpacking how ancient fears of the demonic and supernatural have simply migrated into digital spaces like podcasts, found footage films, and online media. Drawing on works like The Myth of Disenchantment and Strange Rites, they examine the evolution of the Gothic, the rise of subtle psychological horror, and the enduring human fear of losing control to unseen forces. Through examples like The Blair Witch Project and The Exorcist, the conversation moves beyond entertainment into theology—addressing spiritual warfare, the reality of evil, and the dangers of engaging the occult in a screen-saturated age. Aimed at Christian men seeking thoughtful, theologically grounded engagement with culture, this discussion challenges listeners to discern the spiritual implications behind modern media while pointing toward freedom, truth, and the authority of Christ.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Vissa menar att religionen lever inom poesin. Paul Tenngart finner snarare en jordisk livsmening. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Är det möjligt i vår tid att känna djup samhörighet med universum? Är törsten efter existentiell trygghet hopplöst naiv och daterad, eller finns det en djupare mening som vi utan att ljuga för oss själva kan förankra våra liv vid? Var kan vi i så fall hitta den? Den som ställer sig de här frågorna hamnar förr eller senare hos den kanadensiske filosofen Charles Taylor. Han har ju skrivit så mycket om den moderna världens andlighet – i polemik mot de många tänkare som hävdar att modernitet går hand i hand med religionslöshet. Nej, menar Taylor, religionen har inte försvunnit under 1800- och 1900-talen, utan bara tagit sig nya uttryck. Ett av dessa är poesi. I den maffiga undersökningen Cosmic Connections: Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment undersöker Taylor vilken livsmening den västerländska poesin har erbjudit efter det att 1700-talets rationalistiska upplysningsfilosofi gjorde vår värld avförtrollad. Grundtesen är att alltsedan romantiken har det varit poesins huvuduppdrag att återförtrolla världen. Med symboler, metaforer, rytm och halsbrytande tankesprång visar den lyriska texten vägen bort från logiken och empirin, bort från deduktionen och mätningarna, mot något annat. Något djupare, mer meningsfullt, andligt. Lyckas den då, poesin, där den traditionella västerländska religionen successivt har tappat i trovärdighet och kraft? Nja, menar Taylor, inte riktigt. Allt som oftast tvivlar poeterna, både på sina egna språkliga verktyg och på hur verklighetsförankrad deras aning om något större egentligen är. Men de försöker åtminstone. De vägrar lägga sig platt för rationalismen. Det är svårt att säga något verkligt nytt om de senaste 200 årens västerländska poesi, men den filosofiska örnblicken är välkommen. En litteraturhistoriker fastnar lätt i detaljer och det krävs nog ett utifrånperspektiv för att uppfatta kopplingen mellan poesins återförtrollning och det som sociologen Hartmut Rosa kallar resonans – den levande förbindelse mellan individ och värld som sägs skapa vår känsla av mening. Poesin blir en fråga om samhörighet, upplevelsen av en andlig dimension i tillvaron blir en social erfarenhet. Vi människor vill känna gemenskap – inte bara med våra familjer och vänner utan med människosläktet och alla andra invånare i världen. Men tyvärr stannar Taylors undersökning vid 1980 års Nobelpristagare i litteratur, Czeslaw Milosz. Han hinner inte fråga sig vad vår egen tids litteratur säger om relationen mellan oss och världen? Den frågan är inte minst relevant med tanke på alla de diktverk om människa och natur som frodats i den västerländska litteraturen alltsedan 1990-talet, den så kallade ekopoesin. Nog finns det både tydliga paralleller och distinkta skillnader mellan denna sentida strömning och det författarskap som utgör Charles Taylors paradigmatiska exempel på romantisk återförtrollning – naturpoeten William Wordsworth. En av mina ekopoetiska favoriter är den amerikanske poeten C. K. Williams och hans Pulitzerprisbelönade samling Repair från 1999. Flera av Williams texter gestaltar en intensiv mänsklig längtan efter samhörighet med icke-mänskliga varelser. I en dikt sitter en man fast på ett tåg som har stannat mitt ute i ingenstans. Han tvingas höra på grannens konstanta mobiltelefonpladder och blickar trängtande ut genom tågfönstret. Då får han ögonkontakt med en hare och upplever en kort stund av djupt samförstånd med djurlivet därute på fältet. Men han tvivlar på om haren bryr sig det minsta om hans existens. I en annan dikt hittar en pojke en del av ett djurskelett på trottoaren framför ett museum. Han fascineras av dess märkliga form och funderar över hur den lilla benbiten har hamnat här och vart den ska ta vägen när han släpper den. Kommer den att ta sig ner genom gatustenen förbi tunnelbanenätet och avloppssystemet för att till slut brytas ner och förenas med jorden? Hans mamma blir arg och ryter åt honom att slänga ifrån sig den smutsiga saken. De ska ju in på museet nu och titta på en annan sorts natur – rengjord, sorterad och propert uppställd i glasmontrar. Mannen på tåget och pojken på trottoaren är med om precis det som diktjaget i Wordsworths dikt ”Tintern Abbey” känner: en ögonblicklig upplevelse av återanknytning till världen. Det de söker efter och delvis uppnår är resonans. Sedan C. K. Williams Repair kom ut har något hänt som gjort ekopoesin mer central, ja kanske rentav akut. Kunskapen om den globala uppvärmningens orsaker och konsekvenser ställer människans relation till naturen i en helt ny belysning. I Sverige etablerades det ekopoetiska klimatmotivet med Jonas Grens samling Antropocen från 2016, som bland annat innehåller en fantastisk dikt om en pappa och en son som plockar tranbär i en backe där någon på sjuttiotalet hällde ut en dunk med växtbekämpningsmedlet hormoslyr. Bärplockarna skördar det som mannen sådde en vår för länge sedan. För honom var dumpningen ett ögonblicks verk, men för framtida generationer av människor lever kemikalierna kvar. Och detsamma gäller för hela planeten. Våra liv varar på sin höjd en människoålder, men det vi gör under denna begränsade tidsperiod sätter djupa spår i framtidens naturer. Det är förstås skrämmande. Men det visar också att våra liv är betydelsefulla. Ekopoesin gestaltar den intensiva direktförbindelsen mellan våra kroppar och allting annat på jorden. Och denna sorts resonans behöver inte vara förankrad i den andliga överbyggnad som Charles Taylor är ute efter. Den amerikanske litteraturkritikern George Steiner frågade en gång om stor konst verkligen kan skapas i ett sekulariserat samhälle. Ekopoesin visar hur absurd den frågan egentligen är. Varför skulle gudstron ha monopol på djupare livsmening? Ett bra exempel på sekulär livsmening finns i svenska Eva Ribichs vackra diktsamling Mängd, regn från 2024. Innan Ribich beskriver en drastisk översvämning som går över i en förödande torka har hon ringat in den enskilda människans position på jorden: Platsen min kropp tar. Vattnet som trycks undan och germig rum. Kan inte hålla mig ute. Människokroppen har obönhörligen en plats bland världens fenomen, och det är mycket betydelsefullt vad vi gör med den medan vi befinner oss här. Återförtrollning är kanske fel ord. Den planetära resonans som ekopoesin gestaltar är inte utomvärldslig. Den ekologiska livsmeningen har inte heller behov av något kosmiskt perspektiv. Dess existentiella samhörighet är biologisk och helt och hållet jordisk. Och det räcker ganska långt.

Send us a textIn this episode we look at several leaders of the New Atheists, including Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Alex O'Connor and more. What valid critiques of Christianity do they have? Do they reflect adequately on some of the shortcomings of historical atheism? How is their fascination with a cultural form of Christianity and antipathy toward Islam consistent with their atheistic beliefs?We'll also dive into Steven D. Smith's book The Disenchantment of Secular Discourse and explore his concept of "moral smuggling" as it relates to the New Atheists and moral categories in a pluralistic society more generally.

What is the point of going to university? In this episode, Amol sits down with the critical theorist, academic and social media influencer Louisa Munch who thinks you shouldn't have to pay for higher education. With the graduate premium in decline, she explains why people should go to university to gain knowledge rather than get a job because she believes having an informed society is good for everyone in an era of competing narratives about the past. She also reflects on why people of her generation feel disillusioned and what can be done to give them some hope for the future. (00:05:04) What is critical theory?

Is belief in the supernatural and paranormal a byproduct of the past? If their popularity in the media is any indication, then the answer is no. And, in fact, studies show that belief in the supernatural is going up in the Western world. In this episode, we sit down with Jason Josephson-Storm, author of The Myth of Disenchantment, to challenge one of the most familiar stories about modernity—the idea that science, reason, and secularization stripped the world of magic, mystery, and belief.Don't forget to join our Patreon here for access to the full interview with Jason Josephson-Storm!

Could consciousness be more than an illusion? Could it be the very fabric of reality itself?The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year conference series, with associated film and other media, that investigates consciousness and its role in reality. The project seeks to challenge the common yet unnecessarily-restrictive worldview that posits that brains alone are required for consciousness. The first gathering, “A New Dawn,” inaugurates this unfolding inquiry. Convening April 15-17, 2026 at the University of Exeter, thought leaders and emerging scholars will come together to explore the deeper nature of mind- from the quantum to the ecological, from the human to the transpersonal.We invite papers that engage creatively and critically with the re-emerging paradigm of “mind-at-large,” traversing multiple thresholds of philosophical, scientific, and cultural discourse, including but not limited to:- Philosophy of Mind: panpsychism, idealism, dual-aspect monism, process philosophy, nondualism- Mind & Matter: quantum theory, observer participation, the metaphysics of measurement- Biology & Consciousness: cognition in plants, animals, and bioelectric systems- 4E Cognition: embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended mindIndigenous and Animist Perspectives: relational ontologies and ecological mind- History of Science & the Disenchantment of Nature: recovering participatory modes of knowing- Theology & Cosmology: panentheism, pantheism, and the divinization of nature- Extraordinary Experience: psychedelic, mystical, and psi phenomena as windows onto a wider consciousness

Associate Pastor Ron King concludes our Ecclesiastes series.It's been said that our modern age has been diagnosed with the word disenchanted; our focus on the material has often robbed us of what is sacred. But after all of the wisdom Solomon has imparted in this book, his final words are actually a call to be re-enchanted with a childlike wonder and awe of God.This call is summarized with two final commands: to remember your Creator, and to fear God and keep his commandments. These words are Solomon's remedy for cynicism and his secret for human wholeness.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 24, 2025, at 10:15am.

Matt, Alastair, Joseph, and Derek explore the themes of enchantment and disenchantment in theology and culture. They reflect on Charles Taylor's analysis of the “disenchanted” modern age, the loss of a sacramental imagination, and the ways Christians might recover a sense of wonder, mystery, and divine presence in creation. The conversation considers both dangers—superstition, romantic nostalgia—and opportunities for faithful re-enchantment through Scripture, liturgy, and daily discipleship.

Canadian scholar and philosopher Charles Taylor insists poetry persuades us through the experience of connection. His book, Cosmic Connections: Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment, traces how poets, beginning in the Romantic period, found a new avenue to pursue meaning in life. He argues that while poetry can often be incomplete and enigmatic, its insight is too moving — and true — to be ignored. *This episode originally aired on Jan. 7, 2025.

President Trump has said and done some things recently that have alienated members of his core base. One of those crowds is the pro Second Amendment crowd, due to the lack of executive initiative on firearms so far, and Pam Bondi's failure to reply to some members of Congress written inquiries on helping some blue states with protecting their Second Amendment rights. Frank Panasuk of the 1791 Society joins the show to give us his thoughts on where he and other pro Second Amendment people stand on President Trump at this point in his second term.

In this episode, Dr. Jason Storm returns to explore the relationship between science, religion, and meaning in the modern world. Starting with Storm's work on The Myth of Disenchantment, they discuss how the conventional narrative of modernity leading to widespread secularization and loss of magical/spiritual thinking is largely inaccurate. Storm explains how this narrative emerged in the 19th century while spiritualism and occult movements were actually flourishing. They examine the fragmentation of belief systems, the historical transformation of faith and epistemology, and how various "meaning crises" arise in contemporary society. The conversation touches on capitalism's relationship with environmental degradation, our connection to nature as a source of meaning, and the limitations of postmodernism. Storm advocates for a metamodern approach that encourages epistemic humility, community engagement, and brave spaces for meaningful dialogue to address complex social problems. You can read more about it in Metamodernism: The Future of Theory and check out his previous visit to the podcast, where we discuss it here. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Jason Ananda Josephson Storm is chair and professor of religion and chair of science and technology studies at Williams College. He is a scholar and author whose work focuses on the intersection of religion, science, and meaning in modern society. He has written several influential books including The Myth of Disenchantment, which challenges conventional narratives about secularization and modernity, and Metamodernism and the Future of Theory, which proposes new frameworks for moving beyond postmodern skepticism. Storm teaches courses on philosophy and meaning, including a popular class on "The Meaning of Life," where he introduces students to diverse philosophical and religious traditions. His research examines how individuals navigate belief systems in a fragmented cultural landscape, the relationship between institutional authority and personal meaning-making, and constructive approaches to addressing contemporary social crises.

Best known as the creator and host of The Eric Andre Show—a surreal, anarchic explosion of late-night anti-comedy—he's pushed the boundaries of absurdity, performance art, and public mayhem. Whether he's freeing the nipple on national TV, terrorizing Times Square in a cockroach costume, or voicing characters in cult cartoons like Disenchantment, Eric is chaos with a cause.

In this episode, theologian Russell Moore sits down with acclaimed poet and philosopher David Whyte to explore the terrain where faith meets poetry. Beginning with Whyte's new book Consolations II, their conversation traverses the landscapes of language, spirituality, and what it means to be fully present in a fractured world. Whyte, whose work bridges the philosophical traditions of the East and West with the everyday struggles of being human, offers profound insights on why poetry serves as more than mere decoration—it becomes essential language for our deepest experiences. Moore—bringing his biblical, theological perspective—and Whyte dialogue about the “conversational nature of reality” that Whyte proposes and discuss how it resonates with and challenges Christian understandings of communion with God. Their discussion moves through territories both intimate and universal: The ways poetry gives language to experiences that resist explanation The nature of courage as vulnerability rather than bravado Navigating anxiety in a world that demands constant performance Approaching death, as a companion or an enemy The surprising spiritual journey that led Whyte from marine zoology to becoming one of our most vital poetic voices Whether the modern world is “disenchanted” and what difference that makes While coming from different spiritual traditions, Moore and Whyte explore together how human experience requires language that opens rather than closes, invites rather than insists. Their conversation models what genuine dialogue across philosophical differences can look like—curious, generous, and alive to mystery.

“Being able to be here and to tell this story—to weep about it occasionally—that is uplifting because what the story says is: ‘I'm still here. I have survived it. I have joy in my life because I have known such depths of despair.' That is uplifting.” So says Natasha Tretheway, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has authored several books and served two terms as the Poet Laureate of the United States. Tretheway and Moore discuss their respective familial connections to the state of Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf Coast. They talk about Tretheway's lifelong desire to write, her experience as a mixed-race person, and her thoughts on belonging, grief, and faith.  Their conversation welcomes all who long for community, creativity, and clarity.

In this episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Adam Wright as we explore the powerful connection between trauma, resilience, and well-being. I dive into why I believe the traditional medical focus on medication isn't enough and why a holistic approach, including spiritual healing, is so important. Dr. Holton shares his thoughts on how having a clear sense of purpose and value-based goals can help us unlock our full potential. Dr. Wright offers insights from sports psychology, explaining how controlled exposure to stress is key to building resilience. We wrap up by discussing the concept of "anti-fragility" — how, with the right support, we can actually thrive through adversity.

Has modern humanity lost its connection to the world outside our heads? And can our experience of art and poetry help train us for a more elevated resonance with the cosmos?In today's episode, theologian Miroslav Volf interviews philosopher Charles Taylor about his latest book, Cosmic Connections: Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment. In it he turns to poetry to help articulate the human experience of the cosmos we're a part of.Together they discuss the modern Enlightenment view of our relation to the world and its shortcomings; modern disenchantment and the prospects of reenchantment through art and poetry; Annie Dillard and the readiness to experience the world and what it's always offering; how to hold the horrors of natural life with the transcendent joys; Charles recites some of William Wordsworth's “Tintern Abbey” and Gerard Manley Hopkins's “The Windhover”; how to become fully arrested by beauty; and the value we find in human experience of the world.Production NotesThis podcast featured Charles Taylor and Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Emily Brookfield, Alexa Rollow, Kacie Barrett, and Zoë HalabanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give
