Nietzsche's Zarathustra isn't about power-hungry tyrants. This book summary reveals the surprising truth about the Übermensch.

Professor Paul Bishop is the author of multiple books on the work of Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche, alongside other texts on analytical psychology and German thought. In this episode we discuss the work of Ludwig Klages, in particular his magnum opus, 'Der Geist Als Widersacher Der Seele' or, The Spirit as Adversary of the Soul.Bishop's book on Klages: https://www.routledge.com/Ludwig-Klages-and-the-Philosophy-of-Life-A-Vitalist-Toolkit/Bishop/p/book/9780367252526Translation and guide link (by me): https://klages.bearblog.dev---Become part of the Hermitix community:Hermitix Twitter - x.com/hermitixpodcast Support Hermitix:Patreon - patreon.com/hermitix Donations: - https://www.paypal.me/hermitixpodHermitix Merchandise - http://teespring.com/stores/hermitix-2Bitcoin Donation Address: 3LAGEKBXEuE2pgc4oubExGTWtrKPuXDDLKEthereum Donation Address: 0x31e2a4a31B8563B8d238eC086daE9

There are two very different kinds of atheism: the sentimental optimism of John Lennon's Imagine, and the hard, brutal realism of Friedrich Nietzsche's "death of God." Lennon imagines a world without religion, borders, or possessions, where everyone naturally lives in peace. Nietzsche saw more clearly that if God disappears, so does the Christian moral framework that gave the West its ideas of compassion, humility, charity, and care for the weak. But Nietzsche's alternative has its own fatal flaw. A world built on strength, power, and self-assertion cannot explain why the strong should care for the weak — even though every human being spends large portions of life in weakness, dependence, and need.

"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking "- Friedrich Nietzsche

In this podcast we will be talking about 5 Things You Should Stop Wasting Your Money on from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a precursor of existentialism. So here are 5 Things You Should Stop Wasting Your Money on from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche - 01. The "Herd" Aesthetic02. "Anesthetics" for the Soul03. The "Last Man's" Comforts04. Ideological "Indulgences"05. Cheap Education We hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Nietzsche, helps you to stop wasting your money on these 5 things. Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy,  Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

Today, I'm speaking with independent scholar, translator, and lecturer, Stuart Kendall. Stuart is responsible for helping to bring new translations of Georges Bataille's work into English, and he joined me for a conversation about Georges Bataille and his influence from Friedrich Nietzsche. We discussed the notion of expenditure, the metaphor of the potlach, the will to chance, war as an object of meditation, and the enigmatic work, On Nietzsche. Future episode's on Bataille's On Nietzsche will soon arrive as regular episodes of the podcast (in fact, as the two-part conclusion to season six), but here I was interested in introducing Bataille and the background of this text, which will hopefully be of help to any prospective reader who opens its pages and wonders just what the hell is going on. This conversation was intended to be accessible to all those who have never read Bataille or encountered his ideas, and thus to provide an entrypoint for the listeners before we tackle the book in earnest. Enjoy, and may your hearts overflow with generosity.

A contemplative reading of Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, by Niv Rajendra. "There is nothing quite like Thus Spoke Zarathustra in world literature. It is sublime and compelling, written in a state of high inspiration. At times in his life Nietzsche appears to be debating and even carrying the cultural evolution of an entire civilization within him. His writing is driven by an elemental force of nature and spirit that seems to transcend even his own capacity to comprehend what is coming through him. He was a vessel of more than he knew, and it is requiring the work of many others since his death to discern and unfold what erupted in his soul." - Richard Tarnus on Thus Spoke ZarathustraNiv Rajendra is a spiritual health coach, Ayurvedic Practitioner and founder of the EMBODIED Ayurveda Programs.

Silvia Bortoli"Come il cane è arrivato tra noi ed è rimaasto"Quodlibetwww.quodlibet.it«Cedesi cane per il resto educatissimo e che alla parola Fermo! si fa statua di sale.»Ci sono decisioni che alle persone ragionevoli possono sembrare avventate, come accogliere un cucciolo di Jack Russell in una casa in cui la demenza mette già a dura prova l'equilibrio e la resistenza della famiglia. La quotidianità è già costretta e faticosa, le relazioni sociali praticamente svanite, la solitudine grande, e un cane di tre mesi con le sue intemperanze non può che complicare le giornate e aumentare la fatica, ma porta nuova vita e nuove relazioni che sostituiscono in parte quelle perdute, con altri cani, con altri ambienti, con padroni (o «genitori», come a volte chiamano sé stessi) di altri cani; si imparano cose che non si sapevano, non solo sui cani, ma sulle persone e su mondi ai quali la vita precedente la malattia non avrebbe dato accesso e che portano inaspettatamente amicizia e sollievo. E soprattutto, come dice Jon, uno dei passanti che si incontrano in questo libro, prendere un cane in una situazione difficile è forse un azzardo, ma in fin dei conti la cosa migliore da fare: «perché i cani ci parlano e ci consolano e ci guariscono dalle malattie dell'anima».Silvia Bortoli è nata a Venezia nel 1946, ha vissuto a lungo a Milano, a Napoli e a Benevento e da qualche anno è tornata a vivere a Milano.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “One's own self is well hidden from one's own self.”~Friedrich Nietzsche  “Man is not truly one, but truly two.” “I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a space to my original evil; and the thought in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine.”~Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Kekyl and Mr. Hyde “All of life is a battle between two selves. But there is a different war before you become a Christian and from the war that happens after you become a Christian. There's a war between the selves before you meet Christ and there's a different war between the selves after you meet Christ. The war before is without hope, but the war after, you cannot lose!” ~Tim Keller  “One must be joined to Christ for salvation, not simply follow the law. The law shows how sinful people are, but only Christ can save by His perfect life and His perfect righteousness.” ~Martin Lloyd-Jones “It is when I turn to Christ, when I give myself up to His Personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”~C.S. LewisSERMON PASSAGERomans 7:1-13 (ESV) 1 Since I am speaking to those who know the law, brothers and sisters, don't you know that the law rules over someone as long as he lives? 2 For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband. 3 So then, if she is married to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she is married to another man, she is not an adulteress. 4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the body of Christ so that you may belong to another. You belong to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law. 7 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! But I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” 8 And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life again 10 and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. 13 Therefore, did what is good become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

Friedrich Nietzsche argued that marriage is fundamentally a long conversation, and the key question before committing is whether you can enjoy talking with this person into old age. In this episode, we explore the psychological science behind why conversational compatibility predicts relationship longevity far better than initial passion or shared hobbies. Drawing on research from John Gottman and modern attachment theory, we unpack practical ways to build deeper dialogue, repair communication breakdowns, and create the kind of intellectual intimacy that sustains love for decades.1

On the last two episodes of the Profile we discussed the influences of 19th-century German philosopher Karl Marx on our culture today. This week and next we'll be examining the influences of another popular 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche had a solid Christian upbringing in the Lutheran tradition and a loving relationship with his pastor father Ludwig. Why then did Nietzsche become so hostile toward Christianity in his mature philosophical thought and how do his ideas still influence us today? We'll be examining these and other questions this week and next on the Profile with author, pastor, and publisher with B&H Academic Dr. Michael McEwen. We'll be talking about his new book The Devil Reads Nietzsche - A Public Theology for the Post-Christian Age. Michael McEwen (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an author and publisher for B&H Academic and pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Trenton, Tennessee.

Joining the Project Purple Podcast from Indiana, pancreatic cancer survivor Beth Benedix has a deeply reflective and powerful conversation with host Dino Verrelli. A professor emerita of world literature, religious studies, and community engagement at DePauw University, Beth is also the founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy and creativity back into classrooms: an effort that reflects her lifelong passion for education and human connection. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2020, Beth recounts her sudden diagnosis in the emergency room after experiencing severe back pain. What followed was an intense journey that included complications from testing, weeks in the hospital with pancreatitis, chemotherapy, and the Whipple procedure. Despite being declared in remission, Beth shares the emotional and physical toll of a recent recurrence, including the frustration of not being heard by medical professionals when new symptoms arose years later. Beth speaks candidly about advocating for herself within a healthcare system that can often feel dismissive, drawing parallels to the education system and the broader challenge of creating spaces where people truly feel seen and heard. Beyond her medical journey, she also reflects on identity, creativity, and the process of making meaning in the face of illness—through music, relationships, and the ways she stays grounded in connection. Rejecting the traditional “fight” narrative often associated with cancer, Beth advocates instead for individuality in how people navigate their diagnoses. Grounded in an existentialist perspective and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's idea to “become who you are,” Beth describes pancreatic cancer not only as a hardship, but as a vehicle for deeper self-understanding, connection, and even moments of unexpected beauty. From confronting fear and uncertainty to embracing joy, humor, and intentional relationships, Beth's story offers a profound meditation on what it means to live fully in the face of the unknown. Beth welcomes connection via email at bbenedix@depauw.edu. Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast for more stories from the pancreatic cancer community.

In this episode, we explore autism, identity, intuition, & the tension between authenticity and social conformity through psychology and philosophy. Expanding from part 1 & Carl Jung's work, we add Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, & Dostoevsky, and ask a deeper question: what happens when someone is naturally more connected to their internal structure than to the social roles the world expects them to perform? Topics include sensory processing, visual thinking, pattern recognition, the psychological cost of masking, and the struggle between the “self” and the persona people present to the world.This conversation explores why many autistic individuals experience tension not because of who they are, but because of constant pressure to become someone else. We discuss intuition, internal consistency, social adaptation, individuality, meaning, and the challenge of staying connected to yourself in a world that often rewards performance over authenticity. Rather than viewing autism only through deficits or labels, this episode examines it as a different orientation toward perception, identity, and human experience itself.Part 1 https://youtu.be/fqDAfjMXTBQ?si=Sf918WWPsyIsnNKQMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismand Daylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 – MAYU Water01:12 – Daylight Computer Company & Daylight Kids02:19 – Chroma Light Devices03:27 Introduction; autism, the self, and the tension between the individual and society05:05 Friedrich Nietzsche and the “herd”; stability, conformity, prediction, and why systems resist difference07:50 Immediate certainty, misunderstanding, and why insight depends on the structure receiving it09:38 Becoming vs being formed; imitation, social reinforcement, and developing from within11:40 Søren Kierkegaard, “the crowd is untruth,” and the danger of losing the self14:10 Internal alignment, masking, adaptation, and the cost of staying true to your structure17:36 Fyodor Dostoevsky; deep processing, overthinking, and translating complex internal worlds into social reality20:02 Compression, misunderstanding, and why depth can appear “wrong” to the external world22:05 Schools, workplaces, autism, stimming, eye contact, and the difference between “error” versus alternative structure25:14 Closing; the tension between internal structure and external expectation, and why the traits that create friction are often the ones that move systems forwardX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

El salto de fe cambia tu mirada. Independientemente del resultado, el salto de fe deja una marca. Es una marca secreta, solo reconocible por quienes pagaron el precio. Luis Alberto lleva esa marca.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 6 of our mini season "The Great Unraveling" is finally here. Over the past five episodes, we've traced how American political discourse became weaponized, how both parties learned to delegitimize elections, how political violence gets selectively remembered, how two incompatible constitutional orders came to govern American life, and how radical ideas captured elite institutions. Today we're exploring something deeper: how politics became America's new religion.            The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche declared “God is dead” in 1882, arguing that traditional religious belief was collapsing under the weight of scientific rationalism and modern skepticism. But Nietzsche wasn't celebrating—he was warning. He understood that humans need transcendent meaning and moral frameworks to organize their lives. If traditional faith died, something else would have to replace it.            That something else, in 21st century America, turned out to be politics. Not politics as a practical method for organizing society and resolving disputes, but politics as a comprehensive belief system that provides meaning, community, moral certainty, and spiritual fulfillment. Americans didn't stop being religious—they just found new gods to worship and new churches to attend.Support the show

What if the way you see reality—and what you believe it all means—has been an illusion all along? In this episode of An Unimaginable Life, Christy brings through two extraordinary historical figures: René Magritte, the surrealist artist who exposed the illusion of perception, and Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher who dismantled the idea of fixed meaning. Together, from a higher nonphysical perspective, they reveal why they are the perfect voices to guide this conversation—one showing you that what you see isn't real, the other showing you that what you think it means isn't either. What unfolds is a fascinating and deeply practical exploration into how your mind constructs reality in real time—and how those unconscious interpretations shape your emotions, your identity, and your entire life experience. This episode will challenge everything you think you know… and in doing so, it opens the door to a level of awareness and freedom that changes how you relate to every moment. If you're ready to see differently—and finally understand what's really going on beneath your experience—this is an episode you won't forget.

“You are a slightly different genetic version of yourself today from yesterday, and will be different yet again tomorrow.”—Roxanne Khamsi“Each neuron really is a beautiful and unique snowflake”—Ed YongRoxanne Khamsi is one of the leading life science journalists, a contributing writer at The Atlantic, recognized with multiple awards for notable publications. Her new book is entitled BEYOND INHERITANCE. It tells the story about us all being genetic mosaics, chock full of somatic (acquired) mutations, and the implications of those mutations for our health. The myth of a single genome, carbon copy, master blueprint, but instead a dynamic, shifting mosaic in constant internal evolution.And here's the back cover. I was delighted to endorse this book, and reread it to prepare for our podcast. It's extraordinary and mind-bending.Here are the topics we covered:—The Math. 330 billion cells of our ~37 trillion turnover each day, which yields trillions of mutations per day.—Cellular competition. Winners and losers of an “endoevolution,” Darwinian selection inside us whereby healthy or super-fit mutated cells can crowd out the unfit ones.This was theorized in 1881 in a book THE STRUGGLE OF PARTS, by Wilhelm Roux which led to Friedrich Nietzsche's famous quote “Uniformity is pure delirium.”—Single-cell sequencing. How this field catapulted forward owing to the ability to zoom in on genomic mutations at the cellular level.—Cancer chemotherapy overkill. The routine scorched earth, carpet bombing approach can promote resistance and deleterious mutations, leading to an adaptive strategy of leaving some cancer cells behind, as has been shown to be effective in prostate cancer for improving survival.—The immune system somatic hypermutation. B cells have the theoretical capacity to produce 1 quintillion unique antibodies (a million trillion). If this weren't possible, we could die from a common cold. In the Covid pandemic, even before the Omicron variant appeared, Covid booster shots induced hundreds of unique antibodies with neutralization capacity against Omicron. The anticipatory “Red Queen” effect.—Autocorrection of mutations. They can revert, cure a rare genetic disease from within. It can be considered “Natural Gene Therapy.” Example below of a skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa with revertant mutations (→ normal skin appearance)—Different role of acquired mutations through the lifespan. Examples: At embryonic stage, Lines of Blaschko (Image below). In mid-life endometriosis, and in older adults Loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) and Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP). Note these 2 somatic mutation clone conditions are associated with risk of diseases; CHIP-cardiovascular and cancer; LOY-heart failure and Alzheimer's. I've written about CHIP extensively here and here. —Phenocopy. How a somatic mutation can look the same as a germ-line, inherited mutation, with respect to a disease, and how that is determined. —Environmental effects inducing somatic mutations: UV light, air pollution, plastics—and 3 new papers in the past week!* Somatic mutations in the microglia cells of the brain, same as cancer mutations, drive inflammation and are enriched in the Alzheimer's brain 2.. The potential of “promolytic drugs” to be used to prevent cancer in people who exhibit precancerous somatic mutations 3. How somatic mutations can be the basis of autoimmune diseasesWe also spoke about the role of somatic mutations in aging and super agingA related excerpt at The Atlantic A Quick PollThank you YOUR DOCTOR KLOVER, Stephen Pribut, Elizabeth J., Maureen Susannah, Gretchen Faucett, and more than 500 others for tuning into my live video with Roxanne Khamsi!

Imagine a visitor coming to you in the middle of the night and telling you that the life you are living right now—every joy, every pain, every mundane Tuesday—will be repeated over and over again for all of eternity. Would that thought make you fall to the floor in despair, or would you view it as the ultimate divine gift? In this episode, we are going to explore the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's greatest thought experiment, and discover how using 'The Eternity Test' can profoundly transform the way we live, love, and experience this exact moment.

fWotD Episode 3274: Nihilism Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 22 April 2026, is Nihilism.Nihilism is a family of philosophical views that question the existence of any objectively meaningful purpose, moral value, truth, or knowledge. Nihilistic views span several branches of philosophy, including ethics, value theory, epistemology, and metaphysics. Nihilism is also described as a broad cultural phenomenon or historical movement that pervades modernity in the Western world.Existential nihilism asserts that life has no objective meaning or purpose. The idea that all individual and societal values are ultimately pointless has been associated with various responses. They range from general indifference and existential crises to transformative reinterpretations of established ideals and a creative embrace of personal meaning-making. Moral nihilism, a related view, denies the objective existence of morality, arguing that moral evaluations and practices rest on misguided assumptions without any foundation in external reality.In epistemology or the theory of knowledge, nihilism challenges knowledge and truth. According to relativism, knowledge, truth, or meaning are relative to the perspectives of specific individuals or cultural contexts. This implies there is no independent framework to assess which opinion is ultimately correct. Skeptical interpretations go further by denying the existence of knowledge or truth altogether. In metaphysics, one form of nihilism states the universe could have been empty without any objects. This view holds that there is no fundamental reason for why something exists rather than nothing. Mereological nihilism asserts there are only simple objects, like elementary particles, but no composite objects, like tables. Cosmological nihilism is the view that reality is unintelligible and indifferent to human understanding. Other nihilist positions include political, semantic, logical, and therapeutic nihilism.Some aspects of nihilism have their roots in ancient philosophy in the form of challenges to established beliefs, values, and practices. However, nihilism is primarily associated with modernity, emerging in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in Germany and Russia through the works of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi and Ivan Turgenev. It took center stage in the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, who understood nihilism as a pervasive cultural trend in which people lose the traditional values and ideals guiding their lives as a result of secularization. In the 20th century, nihilist themes were explored by Dadaism, existentialism, and postmodern philosophy.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:01 UTC on Wednesday, 22 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Nihilism on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

Me gusta ir al cine solo. Cuando se lo cuento a mi mujer, me mira como si fuera raro. Somos animales sociales y no vemos natural hacer algo solo. A veces nos da incluso vergüenza. ¿Qué pensarán de mí al verme solo en una mesa? Me gusta hacer un menú de mediodía solo, me gusta pasear solo, me gusta viajar solo. Mis buenas ideas, en gran medida, puedo explicarlas por esos momentos de soledad que me permiten pensar con tranquilidad.

Did analytic philosophy ruin the entire discipline?For more than a century there has been a divide in Western philosophy between two distinct approaches, often described as analytic and continental philosophy. Analytic philosophy is predominantly based in the English-speaking world taking its name from Bertrand Russell's philosophy of logical analysis that overthrew the grand Hegelian metaphysics of the 19th century. It did so in favour of a focus on logic and linguistic precision, with the assumption that science would do the serious work of uncovering the nature of reality. Continental philosophy, based primarily in France and Germany, has offered a broad range of outlooks on the nature of the human condition and the world. It has been defined by its critics simply in opposition to analytic philosophy.Few thinkers have bridged the divide to be taken seriously by both camps. Yet both traditions now have deep challenges. The original focus of analytic philosophy has become increasingly blurred while in France English speaking philosophy is now in vogue. What is the future of European thought? Are we seeing the end of the analytic and continental divide? Or is the Enlightenment tradition itself under threat and with it the influence and identity of European philosophy?Associate Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University London, Christoph Schuringa is known for his works on German philosophy and is Editor of the Hegel Bulletin. Genia Schönbaumsfeld is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton and the author of several books – most recently, Wittgenstein on Religious Belief.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/040626.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, delivers a powerful message centered on Christ's Resurrection as the cornerstone of the Christian faith. He begins by contrasting the tombs of history's most consequential figures — such as Karl Marx in England, Friedrich Nietzsche in Germany, Muhammad in Saudi Arabia, and Buddha in China — with the empty tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem. While the bodies of these leaders remain in their graves, Christ's tomb stands empty, a testament to His victory over death. This distinction is not merely historical but theological; it is the very foundation upon which our hope for eternal life rests.Father Matt invites the faithful to consider the humility required to truly come to terms with this mystery. He recounts a visit to a replica of the Holy Sepulchre at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C., noting the extremely low entrance door. To enter the tomb, one must physically bow down, a physical act mirroring the spiritual posture necessary to believe in the Resurrection. Without humility, the heart remains closed to the evidence of God's power. Father Matthew warns that even when presented with undeniable proof, such as the testimony of the guards at the tomb or the eyewitness accounts of the Apostles, those with hardened hearts will choose to deny the truth and spread lies.He addresses a troubling trend within modern theology, sharing a story from his time as a seminarian where a professor attempted to "de-mythologize" the Bible, suggesting that the Resurrection was merely a symbolic event or a collective vision rather than a physical reality. The professor dismissed the idea that Christ literally rose from the dead, operating from a materialistic worldview that denies the possibility of miracles. Father Matthew recalls a brave seminarian who challenged this view, asking if it was possible that Christ actually did rise. The professor's dismissal highlights a dangerous departure from the core tenets of the faith. As St. Paul warned, if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.Yet, the Resurrection is not just a past event; it is a living reality that continues to manifest through miracles. Father Matt shared a remarkable story from the life of St. Stanislaus Papczyński, the Founder of the Marian Fathers. He recounts a miracle from the saint's lifetime where a woman's daughter, who was on the brink of death, was brought back to life during Mass. Furthermore, he details the first miracle attributed to Saint Stanislaus for his beatification: the miraculous restoration of a fetus in the womb. A mother, facing a confirmed miscarriage with no heartbeat, prayed a novena to the then-Venerable Servant of God. On the ninth day, against all medical probability, the ultrasound revealed the baby was alive and growing. Doctors were astounded, and the Vatican confirmed this as a true miracle, proving that the power of the Resurrection is active even today. ★ Support this podcast ★

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Elle marque une rupture avec la culture allemande, ouvre un nouvel horizon pour sa pensée. Cette clarté méditerranéenne devient pour lui le symbole d'une renaissance intellectuelle. - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Typhaine Morille Agrégée de philosophie et professeure en CPGE A/L (Joliot-Curie, Nanterre), Membre du GIRN (Groupe International de Recherches sur Nietzsche) ; Ivan Butel Philosophe, réalisateur, documentariste; Philippe Granarolo Docteur d'État ès-Lettres en philosophie, écrivain, conférencier

In this episode I talked with Dr. Stephen Hicks. Dr. Hicks is a philosophy professor and author. He has taught many classes at Peterson Academy including ones on Logic, Postmodern Philosophy, and Modern Philosophy.  In this conversation we discussed Friedrich Nietzsche's ethical philosophy, why he hated egalitarianism, if he was a narcissist, and why most people in the West operate out of Nietzsche's philosophy without knowing it.

In this new Book Talks episode, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen is back to help me review a new art book: Jack Whitten: Notes From the Woodshed, Edited by Katy Siegel for Hauser & Wirth. Equal parts profound, strident and hilarious, Jack Whitten's (1939-2018) 50 year studio log packs a wallop. And it's meaty at 581 pages, so we had lots to discuss! Stick around to hear some sage advice, inspiring tales of studio experimentation and even some positive affirmations from this incredible painter and sculptor.Links to shows, videos, articles mentioned:⁠"Jack Whitten: The Messenger" Exhibition at MOMA 2025⁠⁠"Jack Whitten: Ready-nows" Two Coats of Paint Blog⁠⁠⁠Xerox PARC Artist-in-Residence (PAIR) program⁠⁠⁠Jack Whitten – ‘The Political is in the Work' by TateShots⁠⁠Jack Whitten: An Artist's Life | Art21 "Extended Play"⁠⁠Uncovering Jack Whitten's mysterious abstractions | HOW TO SEE (MOMA)⁠Artists mentioned: Willlem DeKooning, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Barnett Newman, Franz Kline, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Ron Gorchov, Sol Lewitt, Frank Stella, Caravaggio, Berrisford Boothe, Kerry Downey, Amy Sillman, Jake BerthotWhitten works mentioned: "The Messenger: For Art Blakey," "Homecoming: For Miles," "Black Monolith 2: Homage to Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man," "Head IV Lynching," Homage to Malcolm," "King's Wish (Martin Luther's Dream)," "King's Garden," The Slab Paintings, "Asa's Palace," Gray Paintings, Greek Alphabet Paintings, "Dead Reckoning I," "9-11-01," "Apps for Obama," "Nine Fire CDS: For the Fire Spitter (Jane Cortez)," "Zeitgeist Traps (For Michael Goldberg)," "Quantum Wall VIII for Arshile Gorky (My First Love in Painting)," "Crystal Palace: For Jeanne Siegel"Philosophers Jack loved: Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Taha Hussein (Egyptian, Arab Renaissance), Friedrich Nietzsche, Slavoj ŽižekOther artist logs: Day Book by Anne TruittThe Andy Warhol Diaries Edited by Pat HackettPhilip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures and Conversations Edited by Clark Coolidge Agnes Martin: Painting, Writings, Remembrances Edited by Arne GlimcherWhere to get the book:Hauser & Wirth , Abe Books, Thrift Books, Ebay, AmazonPlease find Mandolyn Wilson Rosen online here: ⁠⁠mandolynwilsonrosen.com⁠⁠ and IG ⁠⁠@mandolyn_rosen⁠⁠Thank you, Mandy!

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with K.R. Wilson about his novel, Stan on Guard (Guernica Editions, 2026). Ishtanu (call him Stan) is a Hittite immortal keeping his head down in Toronto and recounting some of his experiences. Tróán is an immortal Trojan princess who thought she'd killed Stan in post-war Berlin but who now knows he survived. Yes, technically Stan can die. He has just managed not to for 3200 years. As their stories braid together toward a final reckoning they take us through, among other things, a subversive retelling of the Odysseus story, the resistance of pagan Lithuania against Papal crusaders, the decline of Friedrich Nietzsche in a German clinic, the arts scene in belle epoque Paris, and the descent of Europe into the horrors of the Great War. Strap in. Stan On Guard is the follow-up to K. R. Wilson's tragical-comical-historical novel Call Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia, which was long-listed for the 2022 Leacock Medal for Humour. K. R. Wilson's novel An Idea About My Dead Uncle won the inaugural Guernica Prize in 2018, and his novel Call Me Stan was long-listed for the 2022 Leacock Medal. His work has appeared in various literary journals and the flash fiction anthology This Will Only Take a Minute. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1924, two wealthy, brilliant University of Chicago students set out to commit what they believed would be the perfect crime.Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb believed themselves intellectually superior and beyond ordinary moral restraint. Inspired (and deeply misreading) the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, they convinced themselves that rules applied to other people.It became the first true Trial of the Century. A national referendum on free will, punishment, privilege, youth, psychology, and whether the state should answer killing with killing.Were Leopold and Loeb supermen?Or were they privileged, deluded young men who mistook intelligence for immunity?

“So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!” (Exodus 14:22 NLT) There’s a reason that Exodus 14:22 ends with an exclamation point. “So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!” (NLT). Imagine how thrilling it must have been for the Israelites to walk through the middle of the Red Sea on dry ground as they followed God’s leading. Maybe they saw fish swimming by in the walls of water on either side of them, like something out of the best aquarium ever. The people of Israel walked for hours. The journey across the basin of the Red Sea took all night. But the Lord was with them every step of the way. No one who crossed the sea that day could have anticipated just how long their eventual journey would take—or where it would lead them. Their experience serves as an excellent illustration of the Christian life. It, too, is just a walk with the Lord. And discipleship is what happens along the way when we prioritize that walk. Often the beginning of the Christian journey is filled with excitement and wonder, as the realization of what God has done for us sinks in. But as was the case with the Israelites during their forty-year journey through the wilderness, the excitement and wonder begin to wane over time. We start to take things for granted. We become apathetic. That’s what happened with people who came to see Jesus during His earthly ministry. After the initial excitement and newness wore off, people began to drift away. They rejected Jesus and His teachings for a variety of reasons (see Matthew 8:34; Mark 6:3; Luke 4:28–29). They became apathetic toward their walk with Him and began to search elsewhere for something new, something different. If you struggle with apathy in your walk with Christ, then you need to prioritize, what I call, your “R.P.G.S.”: (1) Read the Bible every day. You never outgrow it and never get beyond it. God’s Word never becomes irrelevant. (2) Pray about things. Bring things up before the Lord. You need to have a prayer life. (3) Go to church. You need to be a regular part of the church. (4) Share your faith with others. Many believers stop doing these things and then wonder why spiritual apathy is seeping into their lives. It’s because they’re not doing the basics. If you decide not to eat anymore, here’s what will happen: You’ll get lightheaded. You’ll feel almost sick. And if it goes on for a while, you’ll start to die. You can’t live that way. You must eat to survive. In the same way, if you neglect spiritual disciplines, it won’t be long until you start to wither. Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The essential thing ‘in heaven and in earth’ is that there should be long obedience in the same direction.” As Christians, our lives are a walk of faith. We need to keep walking that walk. Reflection question: How can you avoid apathy in your walk with the Lord?
