Near the end of the extraordinary book that is the subject of this book lunch, The Disenchantment of the World, A Political History of Religion, the author, Marcel Gauchet, says the following about aesthetics, the very topic of our podcast: "The aesthetic experience seems to me amenable to a similar analysis, insofar as it can be related to a primordial source, which in turn attests the continuing existence of a relation to the world, a relation previously the basis of religious sentiment. The capacity for emotion art the sight of things arises from a basic mode of inscription in being, which connects us with what used to be the meaning of the sacred for thousands of years." Of course I read that passage when first I discovered this remarkable book, partly due to a now famous review of it in the New Republic by the late, great Jean Bethke Elshtain. It is not every host of a podcast who was reading The New Republic in the 1990s - and then going out and buying an obscure text on the recommendation of one The New Republic's writers. Of course the name Gauchet is far from the celebration and fame of the more familiar and famous writers on religion Elaine Pagels and Karen Armstrong. But I have always felt that his book is among the most important ones on the subject and, as one of the aims of our podcast is to introduce to a wide audience intellectual matters that might be more unfamiliar, I was only too happy about my conversation with Michael Behrent. Dr. Behrent's Bio My recent scholarship has sought to historicize the work of the French philosopher Michel Foucault. An initial set of essays evaluated the political significance of his reflections on free-market economics by situating his work in the shifting ideological landscape of France in the 1970s. My current project seeks to show how Foucault's thought was (to a significant degree) rooted in his upbringing in Poitiers (France) from the 1920s to the 1940s. A subsequent project seeks to reconstruct the thought of the “young Foucault” (spanning 1949 through to the mid-1960s). I have also written on nineteenth-century French political thought (particularly the relationship between religion and republicanism), the history of liberal and democratic thought, and contemporary French political philosophy. Finally, I write about American politics and culture for several French publications, notably Esprit. I also write about French politics and culture for several American and British venues (such as, Dissent, Foreign Policy, and Oxford University Press blog).

Some remarks by Marc LiVecche on his chapter in Protestant Social Teaching, "Just War," at the book launch party hosted by the Institute on Religion and Democracy in Washington D.C. Marc LiVecche is the McDonald Distinguished Scholar of Ethics, War, and Public Life at Providence. He is also a non-resident research fellow at the US Naval War College, in the College of Leadership and Ethics. Marc completed doctoral studies, earning distinction, at the University of Chicago, where he worked under the supervision of the political theorist and public intellectual Jean Bethke Elshtain, until her death in August, 2013. His first book THE GOOD KILL: JUST WAR & MORAL INJURY, was published in 2021 by Oxford University Press. Another project, RESPONSIBILITY AND RESTRAINT: JAMES TURNER JOHNSON AND THE JUST WAR TRADITION, co-edited with Eric Patterson, was published by Stone Tower Press in the fall of 2020. Currently, he is finalizing Moral Horror: A Just War Defense of Hiroshima. Before all this academic stuff, Marc spent twelve years doing a variety of things in Central Europe—ranging from helping build sport and recreational leagues in post-communist communities, to working at a Christian study and research center, to leading seminars on history and ethics onsite at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camp in Poland. This latter experience allowed him to continue his undergraduate study of the Shoah; a process which rendered him entirely ill-suited for pacifism. Marc lives in Annapolis, Maryland with his wife and children–and a marmota monax whistlepigging under the shed. He can be followed, or stalked, on Twitter @MLIVECCHE.

Jacques and Jennifer continue discussion about the United Nations, and the best approach to building international peace and cooperation.Instead of earlier hopes and promises of the UN as a vehicle for international cooperation on a range of issues like human rights, ecology, peace, and health, the last thirty years have seen a resurgence of nationalism, populism, and violence.With this in mind, the presenters offer an alternative notion of 'sovereignty' that goes beyond individual national interest and military defence, to a notion of sovereignty that recognises our essential inter-dependence and responsibility to other nations and people. https://johnmenadue.com/b-52s-at-raaf-tindal-commits-australia-to-americas-nuclear-war-plans/https://johnmenadue.com/with-nuke-capable-b-52s-coming-albanese-is-now-the-new-deputy-sheriff/https://johnmenadue.com/extraordinary-intervention-by-jeffrey-sachs-at-the-athens-democracy-forum/ Jean Bethke Elshtain (2008) Sovereignty: God, State, and Self New York: Basic Books

University of Chicago professor Jean Bethke Elshtain and Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel discuss the role of religion in public life. Does religion deserve a place in the public square? Is it fair to exclude what many people consider the basis of their ethical framework? Should we study our religious texts together? Please like, share, subscribe to, and review this podcast.

The eminent political philosopher Jean Bethke Elshtain examines the origins and meanings of “sovereignty” as it relates to all the ways we attempt to explain our world: God, state, and self. This 2010 lecture, hosted by Eric Metaxas, ends with a lively Q&A and was originally part of Dr. Elshtain’s 2006 Gifford Lectures.

Just War Theory (JWT) has been criticized for being so flexible that it can be used to rationalize almost any motivation for initiating war and is therefore of little use in actually preventing war. Because it was originally developed as a means of evaluating the moral considerations of war between nation-states, the applicability of JWT becomes more complicated and difficult to assess when potential combatants reside within the same borders. In this special case, even what would seem to be a straightforward application of the principles used to evaluate state versus nonstate combatants is inadequate because Scripture has more to say about the unique moral imperatives involved in the case of revolution.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Bob Perry about his article, “You Say You Want a Revolution?“. https://www.equip.org/article/say-want-revolution/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Scholar and ethicist Marc Livecche talks with Managing Editor Drew Griffin about Jean Bethke Elshtain, moral injury, and how Christian ethics can save lives.

Jean Bethke Elshtain was the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics in the University of Chicago Divinity School. She delivered this lecture on April , 2008 at the University of Chicago's Swift Hall. To view the video of the lecture visit www.lumenchristi.org/events/621

April 29, 2011 Proselytism has emerged as an increasingly important international political issue. What is the relationship between religious freedom and the freedom to proselytize? In her presentation Jean Bethke Elshtain argued that the two are inseparable. For religious pluralism to be robust it must encompass not just religious diversity and interaction but also include efforts to knowingly and determinedly set out to change someone else’s mind about something basic to his or her identity and self-definition. We must acknowledge the power imbalances and mutual suspicions that often accompany efforts to win converts through transnational activity. But to restrict proselytism, through mandatory or self-imposed measures, is to restrict free speech. Nothing should compromise open dialogue within and across traditions in a spirit of truth.

Throughout our 25 year history, we've had the privilege of creating conversations between some of academia's giants and of modeling dialogue across difference at the heart of the university. The 2013 Veritas Forum at Harvard was a stunning example of this: a dialogue between University of Chicago political scientist Jean Bethke Elshtain and Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel on the role of religion in public life.

"Religion and Democracy: Antagonists or Allies?" is the topic of the 2008 Seymour Martin Lipset Memorial Lecture.

"Religion and Democracy: Antagonists or Allies?" is the title of the 2008 Seymour Martin Lipset Memorial Lecture.

We explore the ideas and present-day relevance of 20th century theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, an influential, boundary-crossing voice in American public life. Niebuhr created the term “Christian realism:” a middle path between religious idealism and arrogance. Exploring his wide appeal, three distinctive voices describe Niebuhr’s legacy and ask what insights he brings to the political and religious dynamics of the early 21st century.

More than any crisis in modern memory, the War on Terror—including the current U.S. military presence in Iraq—is being debated in religious, usually Christian, terms. We explore the nuances of that debate with a former war correspondent, a political theorist, and a renowned preacher. We ask how and whether Christian principles really make a difference at this moment in our national life—and if not, why not?

Just-war theory was set in motion in the 5th century as St. Augustine agonized over how to reconcile Christianity’s high ethical ideals with the devastating world realities which were bringing about the fall of Rome. For 1,600 years, theologians, ethicists, diplomats, and political leaders have drawn on this tradition, refined it, and employed its key questions: When is it permissible to wage war? And how might our ethical and religious foundations place limits on the ways we wage war? In this program, we explore three varied perspectives on how such questions are alive and evolving today, and how they might inform our approach to the conflict in Afghanistan and the peace we would like to achieve beyond it.
