W roku 1939 chyba żaden Niemiec nie przypuszczał że raptem sześć lat później granice jego państwa zmienią się tak drastycznie. Nie tylko że Breslau, Danzig czy Stettin zostaną literalnie wyczyszczone z Niemców, ale że Konigsberg pierwsza stolica królestwa Prus stanie się stolicą specjalnego nadbałtyckiego obwodu Rosyjskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckiej zmieniając nazwę na cześć bolszewika Michaiła Kalinina. O tym jak wyglądało zasiedlanie Polaków Ziem Odzyskanych, dlaczego je tak nazwano rozmawiam z autorem książki "Repatrland" Tomaszem Bonkiem. Autor przedstawia w niej własną rodzinną historię, gdyż sam pochodzi z rodziny pierwszych mieszkańców właśnie Ziem Odzyskanych.

La provincia de Prusia Oriental, a lo largo de la costa sudeste del Báltico, es conocida por sus espectaculares paisajes y su antigua nobleza. La capital, Konigsberg, es aún su centro espiritual. Fue aquí­ donde Adolf Hitler, después de prometer ayuda a los agricultores más pobres, y el nacionalsocialismo cautivaron a Prusia Oriental, al tiempo que la desilusión con la República de Weimar colocaba también a gran parte de la nobleza de su lado. Todo ello hace que la provincia se lance a la vorágine del terror y la guerra. Presentamos un retrato del periodo entre 1932 y 1945, que puso un final dramático a casi ochocientos años de la existencia de Prusia Oriental. Una nueva era comenzaba y el estado quedó dividido. Konigsberg, el antiguo puesto de avanzada del Reich alemán, se convirtió en Kaliningrado, el nuevo puesto de avanzada de la Unión Soviética en Occidente.

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant is best known for his ideas about philosophy, from ethics to the nature of knowledge. But he also played a role in the development of an idea about how planets are born. And while many of the details were off, his basic idea was sound. Kant was born 300 years ago this week, in the German state of Konigsberg. And during his 80 years, he never left it. He enrolled in the University of Konigsberg at age 16. But his father died, and he was forced to leave the university. He became a tutor for well-to-do families. He was able to return and finish his education in 1755. Kant was interested in just about everything — including science. Soon after completing his degree, he wrote about earthquakes, the weather, and more. One of his early works was “Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens.” In it, he described a “nebular” hypothesis for the formation of planets. A scientist in Sweden had conceived the idea a couple of decades earlier. Kant developed it further. He wrote that the Sun and planets were born from a nebula — a giant spinning cloud of gas and particles. Gravity caused the cloud to flatten, forming a disk. Material in the disk stuck together to make larger and larger chunks — eventually forming planets. Today, scientists have worked out more of the details. But the basic idea remains the same — Kant's hypothesis provides a basic description of how planets are born. Script by Damond Benningfield

“There's been an incident,” is a sentence no one wants to hear… except for people like Ron Konigsberg, Co-Founder and CTO of Gem, and our guest on *Silo Busting,* whose business is cloud incident response (IR). We know what you're thinking: What makes cloud IR different from all other forms of IR? Let's let Konigsberg explain: “The challenge is that the cloud is technically simply different.” If you're using legacy tools, “you're going to protect probably 20% of the cloud.” Konigsberg is joined in conversation by Sam Rehman, EPAM's Chief Information Security Officer and SVP, and the pair are pelted with questions by Aviv Srour, our Head of Cyber Innovation. Konigsberg says that incident responders need to “adapt from network and agents to services and APIs, and constantly learn about new services and stay up to date and up to speed” with what the bad guys are picking up. Oh, those bad guys! Regarding attackers, Konigsberg says: “They adopt innovation faster than defenders.” They can do so because they have fewer dependencies “and they care less [than defenders do] about breaking things.” To illustrate, he asks us to think about migrating to the cloud: Imagine you're an attacker and you simply never worry about any legacy systems from your previous environments. “They have much more liberty and they move faster.” “They adopt techniques about new services that each cloud provider is releasing *tomorrow,*” says Konigsberg. So it is, in some ways, about playing catch-up. CISOs have had to adopt a new mindset and posture. “You can only block so many punches until you have to figure out [that] you need to move around, you need to counter, and so on,” says Rehman. Rehman adds that CISOs have finally understood the “shared responsibility between you and the cloud provider.” But that's not the only issue with the cloud. “It's much flatter than what you're used to on prem,” he says. “Which means a lateral attack is a lot quicker, moving things around a lot easier, and the *simplicity* of people actually moving things around and infecting a large area is substantially higher.” So how can an organization properly respond to, and learn to prioritize within, the cloud conundrum? One answer, says Rehman, is culture. “We have to adopt a learning culture in security,” he says. “They're always gonna be one step ahead of us, but at least we're one step behind, not ten.” Pick up the pace of your learning and listen to the experts speak.

Today's conversation will take us to 1980's New York City during the height of the AIDS epidemic that swept through the gay community. I'm joined by author Bill Konigsberg and we're talking about his new novel, 'Destination Unknown.' I don't often speak with fiction authors for this show but the premise for this story sounded so interesting. I'm glad I checked it out because it's a work of art. Konigsberg transports us to this tumultuous time by introducing us to two young gay teens as they navigate life. They're complete opposites of each other on the outside. One closeted and the other out and proud. But beneath the surface there's a lot more going on. What I really loved about this story is how it paints a picture of an era that I didn't know much about. I'm familiar with the AIDS epidemic but all I know is from articles and history books. This story gives me a different perspective from a couple of teenagers who were living it and learning about who they are through it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Bill Konigsberg.

One is a Russian city formerly named “Konigsberg” which was changed to “Kaliningrad.” The other a famous film director named Allan Konigsberg who changed his name to Woody Allen.   So the interview on this episode of The Paul Leslie Hour is with documentary filmmaker Masha Vasyukova, and she is a native of the city of Kaliningrad.  She made it her mission to commemorate the bizarre connection between those two former Konigsbergs (the city and the director) by helping put up a statue in Kaliningrad in honor of Woody Allen. You'll be hearing her tell us more about the story that is told in her documentary film “Woody Before Allen.” Now, ladies and gentlemen before we play this interview from the archives, we'd like to report some news about Woody Allen, and some celebration is in order. It was reported in the news that Woody Allen, the great American filmmaker was retiring. Now, Woody is currently in Paris, France filming his 50th film “Wasp 22.” And we want to let everyone know — hey guys. Woody Allen has clarified…. He's NOT retiring. Woody remains one of his favorite guests on this show. So Woody Allen fans, rejoice! Go ahead order that piece of cake. And now let's take you to Paul E. Leslie's interview with a very talented artist and a creative thinker, Miss Masha Vasyukova. Enjoy the interview!

My guest is Amir Konigsberg, Co-founder, and CEO of Pragma AI Amir is a Tel Aviv-based tech entrepreneur with vast experience seeding, building, and leading technology-driven companies, taking products to market and growing them into multimillion-dollar revenue-generating global businesses. He's founded, led, and held leadership roles at Twiggle, Israel Brain Technologies, mySupermarket, HourOne, CodeScan, Google, and General Motors. Amir holds a Ph.D. in Rationality and is the author of 18 US Patents. Today he's the CEO of Pragma AI, a startup that was founded to set the stage for a new way of selling. Their mission: keep sales human.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited Amir to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the way we empower sales today to succeed in a remote-first world. We discuss the art of picking your niche, and what it requires to create something that's not only used but value differentiated. Amir shares his experience in what it takes to get your messaging right and how to navigate between the signal and the noise as you scale your startup. Last but not least he reveals his insights on what it takes to create a SaaS business that cannot be ignored.  Here are some of his quotes "We work very, very closely with customers. And we try and listen as much as we can. And it's very difficult to do by the way. You say you're listening, but most of the time, you're actually you're looking to get a thumbs up for what you've done, because it's pretty painful when sometimes you don't hear that. Or sometimes you can hear 'Thumbs up' but it's kind of soft. And what we're basically looking for, as you do with every startup: 'We need this. When are you going to deliver this because we can't live without it!' " During this interview, you will learn four things: How to go about crafting your message so that it resonates? Why you should not rest until you're certain that what you're doing is distinct enough to be remarkable, and not just something that people use. That running a SaaS business is a marathon, not a sprint - and how to go about sustaining yourself and your team to move mountains for a long time How to find the nuggets to focus on that people are prepared to pay a premium for?

The Sandman by E T A Hoffman

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman E T A Hoffman, as he is known, was born in 1776 in Konigsberg, East Prussia, Germany and died in Berlin, Germany of syphilis, which was extremely prevalent. He was only 46.   He was a romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror as well as being a composer, music critic and artist. He wrote the Nutcracker and the Mouse King which was the basis of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker and Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffman is based on E T A Hoffman's works. His parents separated when he was 12. He remained with his mother and aunts. He was very fond of his aunts.  He started work in 1796 for his uncle as a clerk. He visited Dresden and was impressed by the paintings in the gallery there.  He lived and worked for his uncle in Berlin from 1798. From 1800 he lived and worked away from home and took to a dissolute lifestyle. He was promoted and got a job in Warsaw in 1804. He was happy in Warsaw, but went back to Berlin which was occupied by Napoleon's armies. In 1808 he got a job in Bamburg as a theatre manager.  He was given to falling in love, once with a young music student Julia Marc and another time with a married woman 10 years old who had six children.  He also appears to had challenges with alcohol most of his adult life.  The Sandman The Sandman is Hoffman's best loved and most influential story. It was a favourite of Sigmund Freud and we might see some influence of this story on Tim Burton's films.  M. Grant Kellermeyer on his great ghost story site says that the Sandman exists to sow suffering and everything he touches. Coppelius as the Sandman wants to throw hot coals and sparks into the eyes, not the soporific sand. The story begins with a series of letters. This was a common convention and later Hoffman steps in as the author and discusses different ways he had thought of beginning the story. One can't help think that he was amusing himself with this story as he seems to be satirising certain classes of people, notably Romantics.  The Romantic Movement grew up towards the end of the 18th Century and lasted into the 19th Century, dated to end at the crowning of Queen Victoria in England in 1837. I think the first letter from Nathanael setting out his horrified fantasies about the Sandman Coppelius is to establish him as a credulous and impressionable boy given to neurotic terrors. He seems incapable of distinguishing truth from his fantasies and believes his inward passions rather than objective facts. Again, I think Hoffman is poking fun at Romanticism. There is some theme of eyes. Coppelius seems to want to steal Nathanael's eyes, and eyes and optics crop up again and again. When Coppelius and Nathanael's father are working as alchemists, they seem to be building automata.  Clara's letter establishes her (a woman) as level headed and logical and not given to fancies. They are at odds in this and I feel that Hoffman is making fun of the brooding romantics who believed that nature should lead over thinking.  Clara is endlessly forgiving and devoted to Nathanael despite him not really deserving it as he is moody and unfaithful with a robot and then tries to kill her. In the end, we hear that she has found someone more worthwhile to love and have children with. Amusingly, when Clara doesn't love his gloomy poem he calls her a lifeless automaton. The story is filled with little jokes like this. Nathanael does not believe in free will. Clara does. Nathanael believes that we are controlled by mighty powers greater than ourselves. Clara denies this and says we are fooled by our own fancies if we think this. Ironically, that is what kills Nathanael and drives him mad. Some translations use Oh! Oh! Oh! for Olympia's words, but the translation I used uses the original German Ach! Ach! Ach!

Long published before glamorous parties and commercial projects, ZAYKOV was supervised by the broken rhythms of Lady Waks and HARDY HARD (Berlin, Germany), the Konigsberg club "Lining" (2004 - 2006). In 2007, he was localized in Yekaterinburg in the club "Autoban", where he learned the dark corners of techno under the supervision of DJ Polina (Garage Sound System). In 2008, he organized the "LifeClubLine" project in four musical directions at once: Speed Garage / Drum & Bass / Minimal Techno / Progressive Tech.

When Matthew Fernandez Konigsberg isn't working his day job as an in-house attorney at a large international law firm, he's actively working within the Puerto Rican and Jewish communities, fighting for the rights of Puerto Ricans and against antisemitism. Over his storied career, which included years as a special counsel for ethics, risk and compliance in the New York State Governor's Office, he's held a number of leadership and educator roles within the Jewish and Latino communities, aiming to bridge the divide and support both minority populations in and around New York. But he still has big dreams. Among the biggest: creating a Birthright-style trip for Puerto Ricans living in the diaspora. Inspired by what Israel has done for young Jews around the world, he envisions a program that would give Puerto Ricans in New York and elsewhere, who've never had the chance to visit their homeland, an opportunity to travel, connect with locals and get engaged with the community. Hopefully, that could galvanize political movement among young Puerto Ricans, who could fight for the decolonization of the island. Credits Rivkush is hosted by Rivka Campbell.

The software, and the support we receive under Dan's leadership has revolutionized our ability to execute a world class high performance summer camp and has more than doubled the value of our business. I first came to know about Dan Konigsberg and his belief in the value of executive coaching after reading a post on CampMinder's blog. It was October 2020 after a summer of shut down camps and huge revenue losses. Here is a quote from his article “Pushing Forward to Create a Brighter Future.” “Rather than seeking a rescuer to solve my problem for me, I've learned a Coach can help me identify opportunities to create my own solution. In this Creator-Challenger-Coach triangle, I'm no longer focused on problems, but instead on desired outcomes.

In THE BRIDGE, Aaron and Tillie don't know each other, but they are both struggling with thoughts of suicide, and arrive at the George Washington Bridge at the same time, intending to jump. Aaron is a gay misfit struggling with depression and loneliness. Tillie is a Korean-American adoptee struggling to find out how she fits into her family.Told in a unique, four-part narrative structure, THE BRIDGE explores four different outcomes and their aftermath: Aaron jumps and Tillie doesn't. Tillie jumps and Aaron doesn't. They both jump. Neither of them jump. Konigsberg aims to spark a dialogue about mental health and encourage readers towards survival, hope and encouragement. Bill Konigsberg is the author of six books for young adults, which have won awards including the Stonewall Book Award, the Sid Fleischman Award for Humor, and the Lambda Literary Award. Bill lives with his husband, Chuck, and their two Labradoodles, Mabel and Buford.

I hope you'll enjoy this improvisation on the Bruno Goebel organ at the Cathedral in Panevezys which I played before my organ demonstration there on September 21, 2018. The organ was built in 1931 and has 3 manuals, 25 stops and pneumatic action. It came to Panevezys from the chapel in Konigsberg. There is room for 13 more stops which could be added in the future. Goebel made a new organ console with 38 stops which would fill the Cathedral space.

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong

There was no Enlightenment. Steven Pinker’s new book, “Enlightenment Now,” is a classic re-statement of the myth of the Enlightenment which holds that in the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans threw off the tired dogmas of the Middle Ages and embraced a new philosophy of Reason, Progress, Science, and Humanism. In fact, the 1700s were a period of confusion, with no clear unifying ideas or trends: occultism, mysticism, and absolute monarchy flourished alongside experiments in democracy and chemistry. “The Enlightenment” forms one of the central pillars of Whig history, serving to re-affirm the notion that our present-day beliefs and values are rational and coherent.

Lyon ne dispose pas d’accélérateur et ce qui le plus approchant peut-être trouvé à Grenoble, voire pour le plus grand du monde, le LHC, à Genève. Quel peut bien être le lien avec Lyon ?Et bien à Lyon et même Villeurbanne plus précisément se trouve le Centre de Calcul de l’IN2P3 : Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules. Ce centre est celui qui detenait les informations issues des détecteurs qui ont servi de base à la découverte du boson de higgs ! Et oui, rien que ça ! C’est pour vous parler de l’histoire de cette découverte que je voudrais vous parler du livre : À la recherche du boson de Higgs ! À la recherche du boson de Higgs À la recherche du boson de Higgs - Christophe Grojean et Laurent Vacavant - crédit : Librio Ce livre, paru en 2013 chez Librio, a été écrit par Christophe Grojean, physicien des particules de l’institut de physique des hautes énergies de Barcelone et Laurent Vacavant, chercheur en physique des particules travaillant sur l’expérience Atlas du LHC.Dans ce ouvrage, somme toute relativement court car il fait moins de 100 pages, les auteurs vont partir de la base : qu’est-ce qu’une particule ? Qu’est-ce que la mécanique quantique ? Quelles sont les particules élémentaires dont tout est composé ? Quelles sont les forces fondamentales ? Etc. Grâce à ces explications claires et concises, sur ce que l’on appelle le modèle standard, on en vient à comprendre ce qu’est réellement le boson de Higgs et en quoi il participe à une partie de la masse des particules.Une fois la théorie posée, les chercheurs nous emmènent dans la découverte de cette aventure scientifique qui amena à la construction de la plus grande machine jamais construite par l’Homme : le LHC. On apprend ainsi la vie de ses prédécesseurs, leurs participations à la découverte d’autres bosons (ces particules qui comme le photons servent d’intermédiaire pour les forces fondamentales), sa construction mouvementée, son fonctionnement ainsi que ses premiers tours de chauffe jusqu’à la consécration en 2012.Un livre qui, si l’on s’intéresse à cette épopée scientifique grandiose de la physique des particules de ces trente dernières années, vous fera découvre avec émerveillement ses tenants et aboutissants d’une manière simple et agréable!

Tout y passe : relativité générale, théorie de l’évolution, mécanique quantique, etc. On découvre aussi d’authentiques falsificateurs comme ces deux “scientifiques”, avec de gros guillements, qui ont fait croire aux ingénieurs d’ELF qu’ils avaient découvert une nouvelle particule, l’aldino, pour détecter des champs de pétrole grâce aux fameux avions renifleurs.

This episode is title “Pressed.”In our last episode, we took a look at the French church of the 17th C and considered the contest between the Catholic Jansenists and Jesuits.It's interesting realizing the Jansenists began as a theological movement that looks quite similar to Calvinism. Their theology eventually spilled over into the political realm and undercut the Divine Right of Kings, a European political system that had held sway in for centuries, and reached its apex in France under Louis XIV, granting him the august title of The Sun KingIn this episode, we'll take a look at what happened to the French Protestants, the Huguenots.By the mid 16th century, Huguenots were 10% of the French population. They hoped all France would one day adopt the Reformed Faith. But their hopes were shattered by defeat in nine political and religious wars.You may remember from an earlier episode that Henry IV, a convert to Catholicism from Protestantism, that conversion being a purely pragmatic and political maneuver, granted the Huguenots limited rights in the Edict of Nantes in 1598. Thirty years later, those rights were revoked by the Peace of Alais. Then the fortified Protestant city of La Rochelle surrendered in 1628, ending any hope of France's conversion to Protestantism.For twenty-four years, Louis XIV waged a devastating anti-Protestant campaign. Nearly 700 Reformed churches were closed or torn down. And in 1685, Louis replaced the Edict of Nantes with the Edict of Fontainebleau.He ordered uniformed troops called dragoons to move into the Huguenot homes in Protestant centers. These troops were allowed by the king's decree to use whatever means they wanted, short of murder and rape, to intimidate Huguenots into converting to Catholicism.Some 200,000 Huguenots fled France. They took refuge in Geneva, Prussia, England, and North America. Those refugees were often people of great learning and skill who enriched the intellectual and economic life of their adopted realms.But thousands of Huguenots stayed in France. Many made a show-conversion to Catholicism, while secretly remaining Protestants. They formed an underground church known as the “Church of the Desert.”  From 1684 to 98, twenty Huguenot pastors were hunted and killed.Louis XIV feared the Huguenots because he equated them with the Puritan rebels who'd executed Charles I in England in 1649. Louis was also in competition with the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, for hegemony in Europe. Allowing a large and politically powerful Protestant base in his realm didn't commend Louis as a strong Catholic leader. He already faced criticism for not sending troops to defend Vienna from invading Turks while Leopold had. It was Louis's plan to attack the Turks AFTER they'd taken Vienna! His plan fell apart when the Europeans managed to defeat the enemy before Vienna's walls.Louis' suspicion of the Huguenots seemed justified by the Camisard War of 1702 to 4. They called for “freedom of conscience” and “no taxes.” Protestant prophets predicted a liberation from their oppressors. But the prophets were proven to be of the false variety when the revolt was put down.In 1726, an underground seminary for young men was established in Lausanne, Switzerland. It received financial support from Protestants in Switzerland, England, and the Netherlands. Studies lasted from six months to three years. After that, graduates returned to minister to outlawed churches in France. If captured, they were executed.During the Seven Years War, known in the US as the French and Indian War, French Protestants became the beneficiaries of unofficial toleration. While no friend to Christianity, Voltaire assisted Huguenots by writing a book defending toleration. Finally, in the Edict of Toleration of 1787, Louis XVI gave Huguenots the right to worship.But in the three years BEFORE that, 7000 Huguenots were executed, another 2000 forced to serve in the French Navy, a kind of living death if you know anything about the life of a lowly sailor at that time.After 1760, some Reformed pastors, influenced by Voltaire, moved toward theological liberalism.From the late 17th to late 18th century, what we know as Germany today was a patchwork quilt of over 300 mostly autonomous principalities, kingdoms, electorates, duchies, bishoprics, and other political enclaves. Rarely used, the term “Germany” meant a nebulous region that included many of these regions, much like the term “Europe” refers to a continent with many nations. Germany was just one part of a larger entity known as the Holy Roman Empire. That realm included 1,800 territories. Places like Poland, the Hapsburg Empire, Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Transylvania, and Italy.A Council of Electors, ranging from seven to nine, picked the Holy Roman Emperor.The Emperor's ability to raise armies, collect taxes, and make laws was often hampered by the many groups in the empire that enjoyed a measure of their own sovereignty. The fiction known as the Holy Roman Empire ended under Napoleon.In the 1740s, Frederick the Great, King of Brandenburg-Prussia from the Hohenzollern family and Calvinists since 1613, challenged the Hapsburg's power. At the outset of the War of the Austrian Succession, Frederick's troops seized Silesia and Prussians became THE military power in Europe.In Germany, the leading kingdoms were Brandenburg-Prussia, Saxony, the Rhineland Palatinate, Hanover, and Bavaria. Following the principle established by the Peace of Westphalia, the religion of these kingdoms was that of their prince.While Bavaria was staunchly Catholic, Brandenburg-Prussia was Calvinist with strong pietistic leanings. The rest of Germany was Lutheran of the pietist mold. A unified Germany nation would not emerge until the days of the “Iron Chancellor” Otto von Bismarck in the second half of the 19th century.The emergence of Prussia as a great military power in the 18th century impressed their European neighbors. The kingdom's army of some 83,000 ranked fourth in size among the European powers, though its landmass was a tenth of the area and only thirteenth in population. Its rulers promoted a disciplined lifestyle like that of the Pietists as a model for Prussian bureaucrats, military, and nobles (called Junkers). The highly militaristic Frederick III ruled Brandenburg from 1688 to 1713. Being reformed in theology, he encouraged French Huguenots who'd fled France to settle in his kingdom. In 1694, he founded the University of Halle as a Lutheran university. He welcomed Pietists like Jakob Spener and Hermann Francke. In 1698, Francke began teaching theology there. Frederick III made the University of Konigsberg another Pietist center.In his work Pious Desires, published in 1675, Spener, who you'll remember was the founder of Pietism, centered his call for reform of the Church in the faithful teaching and application of Scripture. He called for daily private Bible reading and meditation and the reading of Scripture in small groups.Spener urged that pastoral training schools should not be places for theological wrangling, but as “workshops of the Holy Spirit.” Nor should seminary professors seek glory by authoring lofty tomes filled with showy erudition. They ought instead to be examples of humble service. Spener emphasized the priesthood of ALL believers. Ministers should seek help from laypeople to assist in the task of tending to the needs of a congregation instead of assuming they had to do everything themselves. Spener took this idea from what the Apostle Paul had written in Ephesians 4. As described there, pastors were to equip believers so they could do ministry.At the University of Halle, Hermann Francke insisted that those training for pastoral ministry ought to study Scripture in its original languages of Hebrew and Greek. Francke wrote: “The exegetical reading of Holy Scripture is that which concerns finding and explaining the literal sense intended by the Holy Spirit Himself.”In 1702, Francke founded the Collegium Orientale Theologicum. Advanced students could learn Aramaic, Arabic, Ethiopian, Chaldean, Syriac, and Hebrew.Francke established an orphanage in Halle in 1695. He created schools and businesses including a printing house where orphans could learn a trade. By 1700, Francke's various institutions gained the support of Emperor Frederick III, who valued their contribution in fostering Christian discipline among his students, the Prussian populace, and his soldiers. Francke wanted to make Halle a center for Christian reform and world missions. In anticipation of what George Mueller would later give testimony to, Franke wrote of examples of how he prayed for specific needs and provision came to feed the poor and keep the schools open, sometimes arriving at the last moment. He wrote: “These instances I was willing here to set down so that I might give the reader some idea both of the pressing trials and happy deliverances we have met with; though I am sufficiently convinced that narratives of this kind will seem over-simple and fanciful to the great minds of our age.”On one occasion, Frederick IV, King of Denmark, gave a direct order to his chaplain: “Find me missionaries.” That chaplain asked Francke for help. Francke proposed two students from the University of Halle. The Danish-Halle Mission was launched. On Nov. 29, 1705, Bartholomew Ziegenbalg and Heinrich Plütschau set sail for India. Eight months later they arrived. They were dismayed to discover the horrid immorality of the Europeans there. Claiming to be Christians, the Indians assumed all believers in Christ were immoral. There was great resistance to the Gospel at first, but the missionaries' faithfulness eventually softened the hearts of the Hindus. Ziegenbalg translated the Bible into Tamil and set up a school and a missionary college before he died at the age of 36.Christian Schwartz also served as a missionary in India. Johann Steinmetz ministered in Teschen, Silesia, Moravia, and Bohemia. Others took the gospel to Russia during the reign of Peter the Great. Halle missionaries met the physical and spiritual needs of captured Swedish troops who, when they returned to Sweden, spread Pietism in their homeland. Sixty students went forth from the University of Halle as missionaries.The press of the Bible Institute in Halle produced more than 80,000 copies of complete Bibles and another 100,000 copies of the New Testament.In 1713, the Pietitst Frederick William I became king. He not only built up the military, he funded the production of thousands of Bibles so that all his subjects could read it for themselves. When he died in 1727, some 2000 students attended the school in Halle. His orphanage served as a model for George Whitefield's in Savannah, Georgia.We need to do a bit of summarizing now so we can avoid that thing we've talked about before – the reporting of history as a bunch of dates and names. I'll do so by simply saying the Enlightenment that swept France and England, also impacted Germany. The original faculty of the University at Halle would have been shocked to see the way later professors turned away from what they considered orthodoxy.We'll jump ahead to a bit later in the 18th century and the work of Johann Semler considered the Founder of German Higher Criticism.Semler began teaching at Halle in 1751. He'd been a student of professors who merged Enlightenment philosophy with the Faith. For twenty-two years, from 1757 till ‘79, Semler was the most influential of the German theologians. He called for a more liberal investigation of the Bible, one not tethered to long-held orthodox assumptions about the canon of Scripture or its infallibility.Semler held forth that religion and theology ought not be linked. He also set a divide between what he called the “Word of God” and “Scripture.” He maintained that not all the books or passages of the Bible were in truth God's Word and that God's Word wasn't limited to the Bible.He taught that the authors of scripture accommodated their writings to the errant ideas of their times, especially the Jews. Sifting out the authentic Word of God from the mythological, local, fallible, and non-inspired dross in Scripture, by which he meant a belief in the supernatural, was the task of the wise Bible student. Then, once the authentic canon within the Bible was identified, real doctrines would need to be parsed.Astonishingly, Semler claimed his ideas were faithful to the work of Martin Luther, which they most certainly were NOT!The reaction to Semler was mixed. Some scholars supported him because his work opened a lot of wiggle-room that allowed them to accommodate the growing popularity of Enlightenment skepticism. But his critics pounced, accusing him of abandoning the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible.When Frederick the Great died in 1786, his nephew Frederick William II became King of Prussia. He attempted to rein in the growing volume of literature now exposing the German populace to heterodoxy; that is, ideas outside the pale of orthodoxy, by passing an edict calling for censorship of any work about God and morality. Any such work was to be submitted to a government commission of censors for approval.  Several Lutheran pastors resigned in protest, and the main publisher of such works moved his operations out of Berlin. The government feared radical expressions of the German Enlightenment would subvert the faith of the people and their loyalty to the State.In March 1758, Johann Hamann was converted to Christ and became a brilliant counter to the Enlightenment. He pointed out the errors in Kant's philosophy and said the light of the so-called “Enlightenment” was cold, more like the moon, compared to that which comes from the Sun of Christian revelation in Scripture and nature.

The History of the Christian Church

This episode is titled, Kant.At the conclusion of episode 115 –Part 2 of The Rationalist Option, I said we'd return later to the subject of the philosophy of the Enlightenment to consider its impact on theology and Church History. We do that now.We saw that John Locke placed a wedge between faith and reason when his system of Empiricism said the only genuine knowledge was that of experience. But repeated experiences generated a kind of knowledge he called probability. Because we experience the same thing again and again, we have reason to assume the likelihood of it continuing to happen. I used the example of a friend we'll call “George.” We see and hear George at least weekly. So, even when George isn't in our immediate presence, we have good reason to conclude he probably still exists.Using the rule of probability, Locke regarded the Christian Faith as reasonable. His repeated experience of the world logically required a sufficient cause for it. He found the Bible's explanation of creation and the subsequent course of history to align with his experience of it. But, Locke maintained, Christianity provided no knowledge a reasoned examination of experience would discover on its own.Then along came the empiricist David Hume who wielded Doubt like a cudgel. If Locke placed a wedge between faith and reason, Hume is the one who wielded the sledge and broke them apart. His skepticism went so far as to claim the common-sense notion of cause and effect was an illusion. He had nothing but disdain for Locke's idea of Probability.Hume said all we can know for certain is what we are experiencing at that moment, but we can't know with certainty that one thing gives rise to another, no matter how many times it may be repeated. It may in fact at some time and place NOT repeat that pattern. So to draw universal laws from what we experience is forbidden. Hume didn't just regard faith as irrational, his critique cast doubt on reason itself. Empiricists and Rationalists were set at odds with each other.Hume and his Empiricist buddies weren't without their opponents. A Scot named James Reid published An Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense in 1764. Reid argued for the value of self-evident knowledge or what he called “common sense.” His position came to be known as Common Sense Philosophy. It had many adherents among the growing number of Deists.In France, Baron de Montesquieu, applied the principles of reason to theories of government. He came to the conclusion a republic was the preferred form of government. Since power corrupts, Montesquieu said government ought to be exercised by three equal branches that would balance each other: the legislative, executive, and judicial. He proposed these ideas thirty years before either Americans or the French adopted them for their political systems.Shortly after Montesquieu, Jean Jacques Rousseau suggested what the rationalists called  Progress, wasn't! Enlightenment thinkers generally regarded human history as a record of advance from lesser to greater sophistication = Progress! Societies were moving on from backward barbarianism to advanced civilization. The Enlightenment's emphasis on Reason was evidence humanity was emerging from the pre-scientific belief in religious superstition into a new era of rationalism. But Rousseau argued much of what people considered progress was in reality a departure from their natural state that was contrary to human flourishing. He called the modern world of his day “Artificial.” Rousseau advocated a return to the original order, whatever that was. He lauded the noble savage who lived in a pure state unfettered by the conventions and inventions of modernity. Whatever government there was ought to serve rather than rule. Religion ought to be a thing of the lowest common denominator with no one telling anyone else what to believe or how to worship. Rousseau defined that lowest common religious denominator as belief in God, the immortality of the soul, and moral norms. Which sounds a lot like Rousseau contradicted the very thing he said no one could do; tell others what to believe. It's a classic case of “Believe whatever you want, as long as you agree with me.” An oft-repeated position of skeptics.At the close of the 18th C, along came a German philosopher who blew everything up. Many consider Immanuel Kant the central figure of modern philosophy.Before we dive in, I need to pause and say I barely grasp Kant's ideas. Seriously. Right about the time I think I'm getting a handle on his philosophy, he says something that makes it all slip away. I hope when I teach, I make things clearer, not more obscure. Kant tries to clarify but his thoughts move in a realm far beyond my minuscule capacity. I just can't get Kant.The best I can do is seek to explain Kant's ideas as others have expressed them.Kant was born in 1724 in the city of Konigsberg in Prussia to Pietist parents. He was a capable student but no standout. At 16, he began studies at the University of Konigsberg where he ended up spending his entire career. He studied the philosophy of Leibniz and Wolff and the new mathematical physics of Englishman Isaac Newton. When his father had a stroke on 1746, Kant began tutoring in the villages around his hometown.Kant never married but had a rich social life. He was a popular author and teacher, even before publishing his best-known philosophical works.Kant was a firm believer in rationalism until he was awakened from his, as he called it, “dogmatic slumber” by reading David Hume.In the work for which Kant is best known, his 1781, Critique of Pure Reason, he proposed a radical alternative to both the skepticism of Hume and the rationalism of Descartes. According to Kant, there's no such thing as innate ideas. But there are fundamental structures of the mind, and within those structures, we place whatever our senses perceive. Those first and most important structures are time and space; then follow what he called twelve categories; unity, plurality, quantity; quality; reality, negation, limitation, subsistence, causality, relation; possibility, and necessity. Did you get that? Don't worry there won't be a quiz.Kant said time, space, and the twelve categories aren't something we perceive with our senses. Rather, they're structures our minds use to organize our perceptions. In order to be able to USE or process a sensation, we have to put it into one of these mental structures. It's only after the mind orders them within these categories that they become intelligible experiences.Kant claimed no one really knows a thing as it is in itself. What we know is only what's going on in the activity of our minds. It's our perception of a thing we know – not the thing ITSELF as it is.Let me say that again because it's the key to understanding Kant's contribution to Modern Philosophy, and in that, to a large part of how the modern world thinks. It's our perception of a thing we know – not the thing ITSELF as it is.An illustration may help. We'll make this pleasant too.Let's say you and I are on the Big Island of Hawaii. We're both looking at a black sand beach at sunset. The sun is a golden orb sinking into a blue ocean. A half dozen palm trees stand in dark silhouette against a multi-colored sky of deep blue, fading to indigo, and morphing to scarlet and orange.Now, I just gave names to several colors. But those are just labels that come from categories in my mind I sort what my eyes see into. You do the same. But how could we know if what I experience as “orange” is the same as what you know as “orange.” Maybe my orange is your blue. My black might be your white. But since we've always labeled what we perceive by those labels, that's what they are to us. Maybe if what you and I perceive were to be somehow traded, we'd freak because of the messing with our categories it just played.Kant said that with knowledge, what we know isn't things as they are in themselves, but rather what our minds interpret them as. So à There's no such thing as purely objective knowledge, and the pure rationality of Cartesians, Empiricists, and Deists is an illusion.If true, Kant's work meant many of the arguments used to support Christian doctrine no longer worked. If existence isn't an objective reality, but just a category of our mind, there's no way to prove the existence of God, the soul, or anything else. Descartes would be stuck at “I think, therefore I am.” He could go no further than that.Kant, like many Enlightenment thinkers, was loath to give up completely on the existence of God. They wanted to hang on to it. But with Kantian philosophy, faith and reason become utterly separated from each other. While many found Hume's determined skepticism hard to accept, Kant's redefinition of knowledge as merely a state of the mind was far more appealing.Kant dealt with religion in several of his works—particularly in his Critique of Practical Reason, published in 1788. There he argued that, although pure reason can't prove the existence of God or the soul, there's “practical reason” that has to do with the moral life, and whose procedure is different from that of pure reason. But this practical reason, becomes a concession, a nod to those who can't operate by the higher pure reason. It didn't take long for others to realize practical reason was like philosophical training wheels that had to come off if humanity was to move forward as rational creatures.Kant's significance to religion and theology goes far beyond his uninspired attempts to ground religion in practical morality. His philosophical work dealt a death blow to the easy rationalism of his predecessors, and to the notion it's possible to speak in purely rational and objective terms of matters like the existence of God and the soul. Following Kant, theologians tended to accept his divorce of faith and reason. Eventually, some questioned the universality and immutability of his categories of the mind, arguing that things like psychology, culture and even language shape the categories. Kant's work, which in some ways was the high point of modern philosophy, set the stage for the post-modern critique of the insistence on objectivity and universality as signs of true knowledge.And, we'll call it quits for this episode for two reasons.First - I'm on vacation and my wife is calling me to watch that sunset with her.Second - My head hurts. I can't deal with Kant's mental gymnastics.
