In this episode of Our World, Connected, we explore the concept of soft power—what it is, how it differs from hard power, and why it's crucial in today's interconnected yet fractured world. From the staggering reach of K-pop to the global legacy of the Olympics, soft power shapes perceptions, builds trust, and strengthens both high level international relationships, as well as everyday community interactions.Joining host Christine Wilson is Professor J.P. Singh, Distinguished University Professor at George Mason University and an expert in international diplomacy, trade, and cultural influence. Together, they unpack the mechanics of soft power, the ways nations wield it, and its evolving role in geopolitics: focusing on values of attraction and reciprocity, rather than coercion and dominance.We also hear from Bill Morris, international event specialist and former director of culture, education, and ceremonies for the 2012 London Olympics, who shares firsthand insights on how large-scale events serve as catalysts for national identity, social cohesion, and cross-cultural dialogue. With growing global tensions, rising nationalism, and the rapid evolution of digital communication, soft power is more relevant than ever. It holds the space for finding commonalities across geo-political borders, whilst at the same time celebrating our cultural and artistic diversity. What does the future hold for soft power in an era of AI, misinformation, and shifting alliances? And how can the UK's new Soft Power Council harness culture, creativity, and diplomacy for national and global benefit?Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

When the Spirit Moves: Justice, Mercy, and Humility

When the Holy Spirit Moves

Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of The Next Page. Francesco Pisano, Director of the Library & Archives discusses the intersection of artificial intelligence, democracy, and international relations with Professor Jérôme Duberry from the Geneva Graduate Institute. With AI rapidly evolving and influencing political practices, diplomacy, and global governance, understanding its societal implications is more important than ever. In this episode, Professor Duberry shares his insights on the dual nature of AI in democracy, highlighting both the hopes and concerns it raises. From micro-targeting in political campaigns to AI's role in shaping global policies, we explore how AI is reshaping the way we access information and engage in democratic processes. As AI becomes a vital tool in diplomatic practice, we discuss its potential to augment human decision-making and the ethical considerations surrounding its use. Professor Duberry also sheds light on the challenges of governing AI on an international scale, examining the debates around AI ethics and regulation. Finally, we address the importance of AI literacy, particularly for the younger generation, to ensure informed participation in shaping the future of technology. Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact on our world and the critical need for inclusive governance. Books by Jérôme Duberry: Duberry, J. (2022).

Hitze, Überschwemmungen, Wassermangel - der Klimawandel hat auch Einfluss auf unseren Sommerurlaub. Aber reisen wir deshalb nachhaltiger? Und welche Rolle spielt die Anreise? Uli Knapp dazu im Gespräch mit Professor Jürgen Schmude von der LMU München.

The sad news of the passing of Professor Jürgen Moltmann prompted us to revisit the richness of his thought and the gracious wisdom of his style with this interview from 2013.      From concerns that are very much of the time (the New Atheism and its influence) to issues that are more relevant now than then (the need for Christians to be involved in politics to combat far-right extremism), this wide-ranging interview covers politics, economics, art, environment and what it's like to be one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century. Join Laura, Malky and Jonty as they discuss Prof Moltmann's answers, muse of Christian Rap and examine why Malky still has a certain picture on his wall. Prof Jürgen Moltmann has been described as perhaps the greatest Protestant theologian of the 20th Century. Best known for his 1972 work The Crucified God, and for 1964's Theology of Hope, Moltmann had a huge influence on western theology, but was not without detractors. In this quote from Donald McLeod in Themeleos, one can sense the author's frustration perhaps as much as one can feel oneself warming to Moltmann based on the critique:  "How does Moltmann satisfy himself that something is true? More important, how does he convince the reader that something is true? The two means of verification normally open to Christians are Scripture and tradition. Neither of these seems particularly important to Moltmann. He has a decidedly smorgasbord approach to the canon; and his respect for fathers and reformers is scant, to say the least. His real criteria lie elsewhere. In order to be true, a doctrine must offer a viable theodicy (it must shed light on Auschwitz); it must advance Jewish-Christian dialogue, bearing in mind that Jews were ‘sufferers' and Christians ‘perpetrators': it must meet the ecological concerns of humankind; it must give a platform for Christian political activism; and it must both illuminate and be illuminated by the preoccupations of feminism. Above all, theological statements must be validated by experience. Even what looks like his fundamental theological principle, crux probat omnia (‘the cross is the test of everything') is itself accepted only because it conforms to these criteria." What's not to love?  Moltmann's writing style is complex, dense and almost poetic rather than analytic, which itself has drawn criticism. But in this interview with a young and not terribly smart pseudojournalist, the good Professor is clear, concise and frankly quotable. Listen out for his response to the apocalyptic view that Christians need not care about Creation! We are sure we have not done his thought and legacy justice, but we are pleased to potentially introduce some folks to Prof Moltmann's legacy.  Thanks to Mark at BMSWM for the permission, years ago, to use this material, long before we ever envisioned a podcast like this. And thanks to all the friends of the podcast who shared (or almost shared) their insights about the great man.  Please remember Prof Moltmann's family and friends in your prayers.   About Beer Christianity Beer Christianity is an anti-capitalist, pro-BLM, pro-LGBTQ+, anti-imperialist, post-post-post-evangelical podcast where we drink a bit and talk a lot. Our aim is to be real, helpful and entertaining. Beer Christianity also has a newsletter in which Jonty and guest authors comment on the news, theological issues and stuff that matters. He updates it according to his own wildly inconsistent neurodivergent schedule, but it's a good read.

Other things… Malky's design work has graced many good magazines and music videos. You can find his stuff and even commission him if he's not too busy, here. Jonty's novel, Incredulous Moshoeshoe and the Lightning Bird, is not literature but it's quite fun if you like Supernatural, Africa or the Goth scene. Laura doesn't want us to post her BookTok until she's posted more videos. She may have prayed for the app to be banned just to avoid it. Beliefs… We don't really want to preach at you, but some people like to know what we believe. It's this: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be, while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice.

In 1962, sociologist Dr. Everett Rogers, first published his book on the 'Diffusion of Innovations'. This theory describes the mechanism by which societies accept new technologies, ideas, styles, terminologies, attitudes and behaviors. This is important to know as marketing experts, government agencies, and political analysts still utilize this theory to manipulate the public. Political and social activists need to understand the theory so they can more successfully persuade people. Then, Professor J. Scott Miller (Maysville Community and Technical College, KY) fills us in to the constellations and planets we can see in the night sky during the month of June.

Wenn wir ernst nehmen, dass Gott sich in Jesus Christus auf die menschliche Geschichte eingelassen hat, dann hat auch der Heilige Geist eine Geschichte. Davon ist Professor Jörg Frey überzeugt. Mit ihm verfolgen Andi und Thorsten die atemberaubende «Karriere» des Geistes Gottes: vom Atem, der jeden Menschen als Geschöpf beseelt, über die dynamischen Gotteskraft, die Menschen ergreift, zur prophetischen Hoffnung einer endzeitlichen Geistausgiessung, weiter zum Geist, in dessen Kraft Jesus von Nazareth wirkte, und schliesslich bis zur dritten Person des trinitarischen Gottes. Und sie diskutieren heisse Fragen: Was ist das Kriterium für echte Geisterfahrungen? Wie ist der Erfolg charismatischer und pentekostaler Bewegungen einzuschätzen? Was können die Kirchen in Europa vom Geistzeugnis des Neuen Testaments lernen? Und warum haben wir auch heute Grund, getröstet und begeistert in die Zukunft zu schauen?

Buckle up! We are heading down to the fields of Clemson, South Carolina!   I got an email from 3 Booker Rumble D. back in February which said “Neil, I have a guest suggestion for you. J Drew Lanham is a 2022 MacArthur fellow and an American ornithologist. I loved his book and would love to hear you interview him (maybe while you guys go birding?)” Intrigued, I looked him up and discovered I … sort of already knew him? I had read and loved his wonderfully thoughtful and nuanced essay last year called "What Do We Do About John James Audubon?" and his viral YouTube clip called "Rules for the Black Birdwatcher". (“You're gonna need at least two pieces of ID. And never wear a hoodie. Ever.”)   So I bought Drew's memoir 'The Home Place' and found it completely entrancing. His writing is poetry — vivid, transportive, meditative. After that I reached out to Drew and we set a time to make the 10-hour haul down to Clemson farm country, wake up at the crack of dawn, and then get picked up by Drew in his Dodge Ram to spend a morning together — birdwatching.   J. Drew Lanham is a naturalist, birdwatcher, hunter-conservationist, MacArthur 'Genius' Grant-winning distinguished professor. He is a meditative, philosophical, nature- and wild-loving soul who has deeply considered our long relationship with the natural world and is never afraid to confront harsh truths. “European Starlings are a dark-plumaged being brought over the Atlantic for the services of others,” Drew says at one point. “Hmmm, where have I heard that before?”   You'll be riding in the middle seat of the truck, getting out with us between fence posts and grassy meadows, hearing Blue Grosbeaks, Eastern Meadowlarks, and Red-Shouldered Hawks, and listening to Drew's endlessly wise observations about everything from South Carolina's slavery past, why there's blood in tofu, what your birdwatching ‘starter kit' should look like, how to observe a land ethic, how we might behave differently if Chicken Nuggets blinked at us, formative books (of course!), and much, much more. “You can't see everything at once,” Drew reminds us. “So learn to see the everything in one.”   With birds serving as a metaphor for everything in life I think you'll love this slow, soul-fueling, wisdom-stuffed conversation with Professor J. Drew Lanham. I left his truck that morning thinking “I want to be more like Drew.” I think you'll feel the same way.   Let's flip the page into Chapter 131 now…   Listen at https://www.3books.co/chapters/131 --- Leave us a voicemail.

Der Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk hat einen Beitrag über mögliche Verunreinigungen des mRNA-Produkts von Biontech gesendet und dann wieder zurückgezogen. Das Vorgehen der öffentlich-rechtlichen Sendeanstalt analysieren wir mit dem Journalisten Norbert Häring. Im Gespräch mit dem Ökonomen Professor Jörg Guido Hülsmann geht es um unentgeltliche Güter. Hülsmann meint: Je mehr der Staat von seinen Bürgern nimmt, umso weniger sind diese bereit zu geben. Darunter leidet der Zusammenhalt und das Zusammenleben. Serbien hat gewählt. Die Regierungspartei konnte bei den Parlamentswahlen die absolute Mehrheit erzielen. Die Opposition wittert Wahlbetrug. Währenddessen sucht das Land seinen Weg zwischen der EU, den USA, Russland und China.

Join us for an in-depth exploration into the SEC's recent lawsuit against Coinbase – a case that will no doubt influence the legal landscape of crypto asset trading and securities laws well into the future.The SEC alleges that Coinbase has operated its trading platform as an unregistered exchange, broker, and clearing agency, and further contends that Coinbase's staking-as-a-service program has been unlawfully engaged in securities offerings. On the other hand, Coinbase has challenged the classification of digital currencies as 'investment contracts' and has invoked the Major Questions Doctrine to question the SEC's authority to regulate without affirmative Congressional authorization.Join Paul Grewal from Coinbase, Stephen Palley from Brown Rudnick LLP, and Professor J.W. Verret from George Mason University as they discuss regulators' approach towards this burgeoning asset class, the legal arguments at play in the SEC's lawsuit, and the broader implications of the case going forward.Featuring:- Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer, Coinbase- Stephen Palley, Partner, Brown Rudnick LLP- Moderator: J.W.

Professor J.W. Verret teaches corporate and securities law and financial accounting at George Mason Law School.  In this episode, Verret analyzes the recent verdict on Ripple's XRP token which concludes that "Ripple's Programmatic Sales of XRP did not constitute the offer and sale of investment contracts." In addition to providing a degree of regulatory clarity for crypto assets, Verret also argues that the court's decision in the XRP case will greatly improve Coinbase's chances in their court case against the SEC. Outline: 1:05 - XRP Court Verdict 6:00 - Coinbase Re-listing XRP 7:15 - Coinbase vs. SEC 9:55 - Will the SEC Settle? 12:08 - Appellate Court 13:04 - New SEC Chair 14:06 - Unregistered Securities 15:00 - Major Questions Doctrine 16:22 - Crypto Legislation 17:00 - Partisan Politics 20:40 - Spot Bitcoin ETF 22:05 - Closing Thoughts

Previously on The Scoop, Professor J.W. Verret explained how the ‘major questions doctrine' could put an end to SEC Chair Gensler's regulation by enforcement. In this episode, Verret continues his analysis of the SEC's recent enforcement actions against Coinbase and Binance, and examines the ways in which U.S. regulation of the crypto industry might be able to strike a balance between innovation and consumer protection.

Professor J.W. Verret teaches corporate and securities law and financial accounting at George Mason Law School. From May 2018 to March 2022, Professor Verret served as an Advisory Committee Member to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission where he represented the interests of investors in making recommendations to SEC Chair Gensler and other Commissioners. In part one of this two part interview, Verret explains how a principle of administrative law in the United States known as the 'major questions doctrine' could challenge the SEC's use of the Howey Test to determine if an asset is a security under federal law. According to Verret, the major questions doctrine is a way for the court to check the power of independent agencies: "If Congress has not given you specific authority to regulate a thing as an agency and you're seeking to regulate it, if it involves a major question of national, economic or political importance, then you need to get authorization from Congress before you do anything." The major questions doctrine will likely not be discussed until the SEC's lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance.US reach the appellate courts, says Verret, "but it's one of the things that looms over these cases, without a doubt."

On today's episode of Speaking Out of Place, we talk with Professor J. Kēhaulani Kauanui and Professor Sunaina Maira, two people involved in the 2013 effort to get the American Studies Association in support for the academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions, called for by Palestinian civil society groups in 2004. Both Kauanui and Maira were named defendants in a lawsuit brought by pro-Israel members of the ASA. Recently, the court has exonerated the defendants of all charges. We hear about the lawsuit, and the organizing by scholars in the ASA and in the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI) that led to the historic boycott resolution, the first by a major US academic association. We spend a great deal of the program talking about the significance of the struggle in solidarity with Palestinian academics and students, and the meaning of this legal victory.J. Kēhaulani Kauanui is Professor of American Studies and affiliate faculty in Anthropology at Wesleyan University, where she teaches courses in critical Indigenous studies, settler colonial studies, critical race studies, and anarchist studies. She is the author of Hawaiian Blood: Colonialism and the Politics of Sovereignty and Indigeneity (Duke University Press 2008); Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty: Land, Sex, and the Colonial Politics of State Nationalism (Duke University Press 2018); and editor of Speaking of Indigenous Politics: Conversations with Activists, Scholars, and Tribal Leaders (University of Minnesota Press 2018). Kauanui is one of the six co-founders of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association. And she is the recipient of the Western History Association's 2022 American Indian History Lifetime Achievement Award. Sunaina Maira is Professor of Asian American Studies at UC Davis and a founding organizer of the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI). She does research in Arab and South Asian American studies and is the author of several books related to the Palestine justice movement such as The 9/11 Generation: Youth, Rights, and Solidarity in the War on Terror and Boycott!: The Academy and Justice for Palestine. Her book based on ethnographic research in Palestine is Jil [Generation] Oslo: Palestinian Hip Hop, Youth Culture, and the Youth Movement. Maira launched a section on West Asian American Studies in the Association for Asian American Studies has been faculty advisor of SJP and organizer with Faculty for Justice in Palestine.

In this episode we welcome back Jim Mallinson for another update on his pioneering research into the earliest Sanskrit texts of Haṭha Yoga. We discuss the Light on Hatha Yoga Project (2021–2024) which will produce a critical edition of the Haṭhapradīpikā. We then dive into the Dattātreyayogaśāstra, the "Dattātreya's Discourse on Yoga," perhaps the first text to teach Haṭhayoga within an Aṣṭāṅga framework. We discuss its authorship, dating, Vaiṣṇava milieu, yogic teachings, intended audience, and more—giving a rich preview for Jim's upcoming online course, YS 210 | The Dattātreyayogaśāstra.  Speaker BioDr. James Mallinson is Reader in Indology and Yoga Studies at SOAS University of London. His research focuses on the history and current traditional practice of yoga and his primary methods are philology, ethnography and art history. Dr. Mallinson led the Haṭha Yoga Project (2015–2021), a six-person research project on the history of physical yoga funded by the European Research Council. The project's core outputs will be ten critical editions of Sanskrit texts on physical yoga and four monographs on its history and current practice. Together with Professor Jürgen Hanneder (University of Marburg), Dr. Mallinson is now leading the Light on Hatha Yoga Project (2021–2024) which will produce a critical edition of the Haṭhapradīpikā.Among Dr. Mallinson's publications are The Khecarīvidyā of Ādinātha, a Critical Edition and Annotated Translation of an Early Text on Haṭhayoga (Routledge, 2007), a revision of his doctoral thesis, which was supervised by Professor Alexis Sanderson at the University of Oxford, where Dr. Mallinson also read Sanskrit as an undergraduate, Roots of Yoga (Penguin Classics, 2017, co-authored with Mark Singleton) and The Amṛtasiddhi and Amṛtasiddhimūla: The Earliest Texts of the Haṭhayoga Tradition (École française d'Extreme-orient, Pondicherry, 2021). Dr. Mallinson has spent more than ten years living in India with traditional ascetics and practitioners of yoga, and at the 2013 Kumbh Mela was awarded the title of Mahant by the Rāmānandī Saṃpradāya.LinksYS 210 | The Dattātreyayogaśāstrahttps://soas.academia.edu/JamesMallinson

1) What season are we celebrating?a. Advent.2) What is Advent?a. Advent is the season before Christmas.3) What kind of season is Advent?a. Advent is a season of waiting.4) Where are we waiting?a. In a land of deep darkness.5) What are we waiting for?a. The Light to shine on us.6) What do we do during Advent?a. Prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus.7) What do we confess during Advent?a. Christ has come; Christ will come again.Early in each of the gospels, the biblical authors seek to link the story of Jesus with what has come before. Mark opens by referring to “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” and linking the story of Jesus to the prophecies of Isaiah. Matthew opens with his genealogy, which runs from Jesus back through the exile, through David, to father Abraham. Luke goes a step farther, with his genealogy reaching all the way back to Adam, the son of God. We might think that's about as far back as we can go. If you ask someone, tell me about your ancestry, and they say, “Well, there was a guy named Adam and a girl named Eve and they lived in a garden…”, that's about as far back as you can go. But not for John. John reaches farther back than Isaiah, Abraham, and Adam. His gospel will begin as far back as possible, to the beginning. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” These words obviously remind us of Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” But John's words are even more fundamental than Moses. In Moses's beginning, he immediately speaks of creation, of divine action. “God created the heavens and the earth.” John reaches behind creation to that which was before creation. In fact, we see this clearly in the verbs that John uses. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” The verb in each of these is “to be.” It refers to basic existence. Then in verse 3, John begins to speak of things that “were made,” or literally, things that “become.” “All things became through him, and without him did not anything become that has become.” Our translations rightly connect this “becoming” to “being made” or “being created.”This is the fundamental contrast in reality: Being and Becoming. Things that just are; and things that come-to-be. Eternal and unchanging things and temporal and changing things. In the Old Testament, this contrast is always between the God Who Is and the World that Becomes. What's more, the Old Testament is adamant that there is only one God Who Is. “I am who I am.” There is none like me. I am God and there is no other. As the Westminster Catechism says, “Are there more gods than one? There is but one only, the living and true God.” In contrast to God, there is the world of becoming, the world that comes-to-be, that was created in the beginning, full of change. What's striking about John's gospel, especially for his early Jewish monotheistic audience is that he places the Word right in the middle of Being. The Word did not come into being. He did not have a beginning, but he was in the beginning. And the Word from the beginning has two paradoxical features: he was with God and he was God. He was God's Fellow and God's Own Self. And notice that I'm saying “He.” The opening verse refers to the Word, the Logos. Verse 2 summarizes verse 1 and accents that this Word is not a thing, but a He. “He–the Word who was and is God–was in the beginning with God.”Word as MessageWhen we hear the word “Word,” we often think of an individual word, a single word. But the Greek word “logos” means something more like speech, or discourse, or message. In the earliest Latin translations of the New Testament, it was translated as sermo, from which we get the word “sermon.” In the beginning was the Sermon and the Sermon was with God and the Sermon was God. And we ought to pay attention to the prepositions. The Word was in the beginning. He was with God. And all things were made through him. These three give three windows on the Word. Because he was in the beginning, he was God. He didn't come into being. He just is. But he's not just God; he's also with God. Are there more gods than one? There is but one only, the living and true God. But the next question says, “How many persons are there in the Godhead? There are three persons in the Godhead–the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one God.” And third, the Word is the agent of creation. Creation is from the Father, and through the Son (and in the Spirit). God creates through speech. “He spoke, and it came to be.” And that speech is the Son. As one commentator put it, “Jesus is what God says whenever God speaks.” Notice how John emphasizes this point. “Without him was not anything made that was made.” If there's a made thing in the universe, it was made through the Word. If there is something that came to be in reality, it came to be through the Word. That's why the gospel of John ends with the statement that, if every one of Jesus's deeds was written, the whole world could not contain the books. That's because the world itself is the Word's words. So then, we have the Eternal Word and the Creating Word. In verse 4, we see the Living Word. “In him was life, and the life [that was in him] was the light of men.” The Word's life is man's light. The LightWith the introduction of the term “light” in verse 4, we see a shift. From this point on, until John 1:14, the Word is referred to as the Light. He's the Word–Eternal Word, Creating Word, Living Word. And now he's the Light. The Light shines in the darkness (1:5); John bears witness about the Light (1:7-8); The true Light was coming into the world (1:9), and was rejected by some and received by others (1:10-13). So what does it mean that he's the Light of men? This statement is made in the midst of multiple references to creation, to Genesis 1: In the beginning; all things were made through him; the light shines in the darkness (recalling Genesis 1:3, “Let there be light, and there was light”). So in the first place the Word is the natural Light of men. He is the ultimate, unavoidable foundation for all knowledge and understanding.With the help of C.S. Lewis, let's dwell on the meaning of the Word as the natural Light of men. In his apologetic work, Lewis was especially known for his clear and compelling use of the arguments from Reason, Morality, and Desire. He deployed these arguments primarily as a way of refuting naturalism or materialism, the view that nature or matter is all that there is. Nothing supernatural, or spiritual, or beyond what can be measured and quantified.Naturalism is reductionistic. The naturalist says that human reasoning, whether about truth or morality, is simply the excess fluff of chemical and electrical reactions in the brain. Our reasoning doesn't actually give us access to truth or goodness outside of us; it's simply a brain secretion. You may think that your mind has access to reality, to truth, but it doesn't; that's an illusion produced by millions of years of evolution. Likewise, your moral standards are merely evolved social preferences that you mistakenly think transcend human thought. They are simply irrational projections of human values and emotions onto an indifferent cosmos. There is no standard of good and evil, independent of human actions, by which we can be judged. That's naturalism. The argument from Reason runs something like this: human thought cannot merely be a fact about ourselves, but must instead be capable of giving us real insight into reality. Lewis frequently quoted Professor J.D.S. Haldane to the effect that, “If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true . . . and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.” One absolutely central inconsistency ruins [the naturalistic worldview]…. The whole picture professes to depend on inferences from observed facts. Unless inference is valid, the whole picture disappears…. Unless Reason is an absolute – all is in ruins. Yet those who ask me to believe this world picture also ask me to believe that Reason is simply the unforeseen and unintended by–product of mindless matter at one stage of its endless and aimless becoming. Here is flat contradiction. They ask me at the same moment to accept a conclusion and to discredit the only testimony on which that conclusion can be based. In other words, all knowledge depends on the validity of inference, of logic, and therefore inference must in principle be more than a brain secretion but instead a “real insight into the way in which real things have to exist” (63). If this is so, then human thinking testifies to the existence of Reason in which the universe is saturated. Human logic bears witness to the eternal Logos. While this argument doesn't get you the whole way to Christian theism, it does seem to be an effective refutation of strict materialism.The argument from Morality is similar: Human beings make moral judgments. We call certain things good and certain things evil, certain things right and certain things wrong. In doing so, we are appealing to an objective standard of behavior that is outside of us. Whether we are judging our neighbor or Nazis, the very fact of our judgment testifies to our belief in a real objective Good that stands over us and to which we ought to conform. There is a real moral law which is constantly pressing upon us. Again, this argument doesn't get us the whole way to Christianity, but the existence of a universal moral law does seem to imply a Lawgiver, and thus open the way for further discussion of what this Lawgiver might be like.Finally, I'll let Lewis express the argument from Desire in his own words: The Christian says, ‘Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. (C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (New York: HarperOne, 2001), 136–137.) Now there are at least two common threads that run within each of these arguments. The first is that the existence of the defect testifies to the existence of the perfection. A belief in the existence of error entails belief in the existence of Truth. A belief in the existence of evil entails belief in the existence of Good. A belief in the existence of emptiness entails belief in the existence of Fullness. Thus, instead of the argument from Reason, we might equally speak of the Argument from Error. Instead of the argument from Morality, we might speak of the argument from Evil. Instead of the argument from Desire, we might speak of the argument from Emptiness. The second common thread is that such beliefs are, outside of insane asylums, indelible and ineradicable. We can't get away from them. Whatever theories people may have, whatever philosophies people may invent, we are all going to go on identifying errors, making moral judgments, and pursuing satisfaction in something. And significantly, such indelible phenomena cry out for an explanation. And John 1 gives us that explanation.When we recognize the implications of our indelible belief in error and truth, in evil and good, in desire and fullness, in futility and purpose, we can see in such simple everyday phenomena a witness to God's reality. As Paul says, “He is actually not far from each one of us” (Acts 17:27) In a sense, we might say that God is as near to you as your thinking, your judging, and your desiring. Because the life of his Word is the light of men.No matter what we think, in thinking we evidence a belief in inference, in logic, in error, and therefore in truth. And he is the Truth. In evaluating and judging, in condemning and approving, in accusing and commending, we evidence our belief in morality, in standards, in evil, and therefore in the good. And he is the Good. In desiring and pursuing satisfaction, in longing and in aching, in hoping and in feeling futility, we evidence our belief in meaning, in purpose, in fullness and in life. And he is the Life. And his life is the light of men.Of course, we can, if we choose, suppress these truths. We can invent philosophies that deny (however incoherently) the reality of truth, goodness, and beauty. We can try to overcome that light. But reality is a stubborn thing. Or better, God is a relentless hunter. To use Psalm 139, he really does search and know us. He really does hem us in, behind and before (Psalm 139:5). We cannot successfully flee from him. If we ascend to the heavens, he is there. If we descend to the depths, he is there. If we travel across the sea, or to the farthest reaches of the galaxies, even there he is present and active and pursuing.Or to bring this back to John 1, the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. The natural light of reason can be suppressed, but not obliterated. Every time we think, we reassert the inescapable reality of the Word as the natural light of men.Coming into the WorldBut John's gospel doesn't stop with natural light. This true light which enlightens every man was coming into the world. This “coming into the world” is something different than being the natural light of men from creation. This is what we are marking here in Advent as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. When the true light came into the world, he shed a new kind of light, and this light enlightened men by dividing men. He came to his own – and since he made everything, everything is his own. Every person belongs to the Light. More specifically, he came to his own household, his people, to Israel. And they did not receive him. They rejected him. But not everyone. Some did receive him. Some believed in his name. To understand this division that the light brings, we can consider John's words later in his gospel, in chapter 3. "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (3:19-21) Why did some who dwelt in darkness reject the light? Because they loved the darkness because their deeds were evil. They hated the light because they hated exposure. They wrapped themselves in darkness and tried to make it their covering. So then, we have the Word, God's Eternal Message, who was with God and is God, and through him God made everything. The life of the Word is the natural light of men, shining into the darkness with inescapable and unavoidable brightness. And this light, the true light, comes into the world and enlightens men by dividing men into those who recognize and love him, and those who do not. ApplicationSo here we are, in the season of Advent, in a land of deep darkness. What should we do with what we've just seen in John 1? First, we ought to be encouraged by our awareness of darkness. Just as the existence of error points to the reality of truth, just as the existence of evil points to the reality of goodness, just as the fact of emptiness and desire points to the reality of fullness and satisfaction, so also the fact that we have a name for darkness means that we were made for the Light. In the land of the blind, they have no word for darkness or for light. And so if you feel the weight of darkness upon you this Advent, take heart. That weight is testifying to your soul that you were made for light. Second, I want to exhort all of us: Let's be like John. John was not the Light. Throughout this gospel, John will say things like, “I'm not the Christ; I'm just the voice of one crying in the wilderness. I'm not the bridegroom; I'm just his friend, and he must increase and I must decrease.” In John's gospel, Jesus says, “I am.” John says, “I am not.” And so let's be like John. And in this passage, what does John do? He's not the light. He bears witness about the Light. He points to the Light. And he does so that all might believe in the true Light that is coming into the world. John is the apostle of Advent. And so let's press this into the corners a bit. In your homes this Advent, are you bearing witness to the Light? Parents, are you pointing your kids to the Light? Or are you driving them into the darkness? In our Advent catechism, we ask, “What do we do during Advent? Prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus.” Are you preparing your kids to welcome Jesus, or to avoid you? In all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations, are you keeping your eye on the ball? Are you communicating the brightness of God's smile to your kids, or the darkness of his exasperated and frustrated frown?It's a great tragedy when, in our efforts to do good things for our people, we torch our relationships with our people. Dad, you can do it by working your job to provide, while forgetting that the first way that you bear witness to the light is by your glad time and attention for your family. Mom, you can torch the relationship by forgetting that decorations are made for people, not people for the decorations. Your vision for your holiday home, shaped by Instagram and other people's expectations, can be a burden to your family that keeps them from seeing the light. John isn't the Light; he's the voice. And so if you're a voice, like John, what does your voice say? What does your tone of voice say? Husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, friends and roommates: how's that tone of voice? Is it making straight the way of the Lord so your spouse or sibling or friend can see the Light? Or is it throwing up roadblocks? Kids, do you speak respectfully and clearly and honorably to your parents?Husbands, do you speak to your wife with exasperation and harshness?Wives, do you speak to your husband with disrespect and condescension? Roommates and friends, do you speak to each other with frustration and dismissal?For all of us, can we point people to the Light by our manner of speech – kind, patient, thoughtful, strong, clear, and full of delight and joy in the Light and in our people?Keep pressing in here. John's aim is to “make straight the way of the Lord” (v. 23) To lay low the mountains and to raise up the valleys. It's clear from John's ministry that this fundamentally means calling people to repentance and restored relationships, first with God and then with each other. And so for husbands and wives, for parents and kids, for brothers and sisters, for friends and roommates – how are those relationships? When I ask that question, does a name or a face or a conflict pop into your head? If so, that's great news. The Light is shining in the darkness. Don't try to overcome it. When the Light comes into the world, come to the Light. Don't love the darkness and reject the light. Don't keep your evil deeds hidden. Repent of them. And then bear fruit in keeping with that repentance. One way that we prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus is by doing what is true and so showing that our deeds have been carried out in God. As John says, those who receive the Light and believe in his name are given an amazing privilege – the right to become children of God, born not of human will or decision, not of blood and natural procreation. If you receive the Light, it's because you've been born of God, and your works are done in him. Finally, what does it mean to receive him? Receive him as what? In this passage, it means receiving him as the Word, as the Speech and Message of God to us. It means receiving him as Light and Life. And it means receiving him as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. Which brings us to the Table.The TableThe Word who was in the beginning, the Word who was with God and is God, the Eternal, Creating Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The True Light came into the world, and is still coming into the world. At this table, we see the True Light in the simple bread and wine. And in seeing the True Light, in believing in his name, we receive him as the True Bread. So come and welcome Jesus Christ.

King of Asia and Pharoah are two of the titles taken by Alexander, ruler of Macedonia from 336 B.C. to 323 B.C. He died aged 32 having conquered a vast area and founded the city of Alexandria in present day Egypt but his reputation stretched even further as a kind of philosopher king, and in myths and stories, as someone who travelled to paradise, created the first flying machine and explored underwater. Rana Mitter has been to visit a new exhibition at the British Library which illustrates these different images of Alexander and he's joined by New Generation Thinkers Dr Julia Hartley, Professor Islam Issa and by Peter Toth, curator of ancient and medieval manuscripts at the British Library.

How can we manage the ethical challenges faced in business?On this special episode of the show, I'm speaking to Professor Josephine Nelson, the co-author of a brand new book called ‘Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs To Know'. Josephine — who publishes as JS Nelson — is a Professor of Business Ethics (Law) at Villanova Law School and is currently a visiting professor at Harvard business school. The episode is special because I'm releasing it just a few days after recording as an extra episode between the regular schedule. That usually only happens when I've recorded an episode about something topical in the news. Ethics is something I've covered before (links to relevant episodes below). The reason I'm rushing this episode out is personal. Not because I have to resolve many ethical issues in my business — though, as you'll hear, we all have to deal with them on an ongoing basis and if you think you don't, watch out! Instead, because of the considerable number of times I've found myself talking about the ideas shared by my guest since recording. The insights provided by Josephine have come up so many times, in such a short period, that I wanted to get the episode out asap. In part, so the clients I've already spoken to about them — and those I undoubtedly will — can hear it directly from her. That hopefully also means it's highly relevant to you. Josephine's insights in the book and on the show aren't just relevant to our work environments. They can also help us to think about the decisions made by companies we engage with — or choose not to — politicians we vote for - or don't — and those with whom we surround ourselves — or don't.The episode contains some very simple observations about ethics. But don't let the simplicity fool you. They're astonishingly insightful and practical. I can't recommend the book enough, and I'm really excited to bring you this episode because what Josephine has to say is incredibly important. And if you think that means an overly serious episode, think again. As you'll hear, Josephine is a lot of fun, and there's lots of laughter.To find out more about Josephine's work at Harvard Business School - https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=876714To learn more about the book she co-authored with Lynn Stout, “Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know” and to explore her areas of research, visit Josephine's website - https://www.jsnelson.net/During our discussion, we talk aboutJosephine's previous appearance on the show, a cross cast of Alison Taylor & Jerome Tagger's Breaking The Fever Podcast on Workplace Surveillance: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/professor-j-s-nelson-on/Professor Yuval Feldman's work on writing rules for ‘Good People' - https://www.law.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/upload_documents/Feldman%20The%20Law%20of%20Good%20People.pdfThe Boeing 737 Max Scandal - https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/cold-call-what-went-wrong-with-the-boeing-737-maxThe Wells Fargo Cross-Selling Scandal - https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2019/02/06/the-wells-fargo-cross-selling-scandal-2/The Wells Fargo Fake Account Scandal - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/business/wells-fargo-settlement.amp.htmlThe Volkswagen Diesel Scandal - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34324772.ampThe Johnson Johnson Baby Powder Scandal - https://www.forbes.com/sites/korihale/2022/03/02/johnson--johnson-attempts-to-side-step-100-million-baby-powder-settlement/Her co-author Lynn Stout — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_A._StoutMary Gentile's system called ‘Giving voice to Values' which Josephine describes as “how to speak truth to power, without getting fired” — https://givingvoicetovaluesthebook.com/‘Ethics Unwrapped' from the McComb School of Business at the University of Texas — https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/How Swiss Bank Credit Suisse tried to track down a whistleblower — https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/39731/credit-suisse-calls-in-expert-help-to-hunt-down-whistleblowerSome of the other ethics-related episodes of the show:Ruth Steinholtz on Ethical Cultures - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/ruth-steinholtz-on-ethical-cultures/Dr Sarah Eaton on Ethics in Academia - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/dr-sarah-eaton-on-ethics/Dr Todd Haugh on the Behavioural Aspects of Ethics & Compliance - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/dr-todd-haugh-on-the/Rob Chestnut on how companies can help their employees to work with integrity - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/rob-chesnut-on-how-companies/Rabbi Yonason Goldson on a Rabbi's View of Ethics -https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/rabbi-yonason-goldson-on-a/Maarten Hoekstra on Ethics: ‘making the good doable' -https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/maarten-hoekstra-on-ethics-making/

Post By: Adam Turteltaub The Challenger and Columbia disasters were as instructive as they were tragic, providing countless lessons for organizations, including for compliance and ethics professionals. The January 2022 issue of Ethikos focuses exclusively on them and features an extended article by Professor J. Mark Maier, Founding Chair of the Leadership Program at Chapman University Professor Maier has dedicated much of his career to studying the disasters and sharing lessons from them, even producing a documentary. Of particular focus for him were the efforts of Roger Boisjoly and Allan McDonald, who refused to sign off on the Challenger's launch. Professor Maier and McDonald frequently spoke about leading with integrity, including for US Space Command's Leadership Development Program. In the latest Compliance Perspectives podcast Professor Maier explores the many ethics issues that led to these disasters. The topics discussed include: Speaking Truth to Power It's not easy for people to speak up to individuals who are more senior than they are. There's inherent risk, especially when delivering bad news that can imperil a project. Adding to it, management often signals, intentionally or not, that they want things to stay on track, schedule and budget. This calls for a focused effort by leadership to create a different mindset, one that encourages people to bring up unpopular truths. Risk Complacency In the case of the Columbia disaster, the spec was for no foam to fall off the external fuel tank, but it kept happening. In fact, it happened so frequently and with no effect. As a result, NASA grew complacent about the risk, until ultimately the foam did damage a wing and all aboard perished. The Dynamic of Internal vs. External Risk It can be too easy to downplay the external risks and focus on the internal risks we perceive to ourselves and our careers. The Fallacy of “It's a Business Decision” Often a decision is treated as “just a business decision” when, in fact, there is an ethical issue at stake. Focusing solely on the results, dollars and cents fails to consider the importance of the means, and not just the end. The Importance of Little Things It is easier to fix a problem when it is small than when it is big. However, when it is small it is too easy to ignore until it is too late. The Value of Servant Leadership This often-misunderstood term is explained, and Professor Maier argues that when management leads as a servant of common cause rather than from a position just of power, it is far more advantageous. Listen in to learn more lessons from these two tragedies.

In this episode we welcome back Jim Mallinson for an update on his pioneering research into the earliest Sanskrit texts of Haṭha Yoga. We review some of the major findings from the 5-year ERC Haṭha Yoga Project and learn about his latest project, the Light on Hatha Yoga Project (2021–2024) which will produce a critical edition of the Haṭhapradīpikā. We discuss the latest methods in digital Sanskrit philology and the challenges of working with large amounts of manuscript data. We then dive into the Amṛtasiddhi, the "Attainment of Immortality," to learn about this fascinating and important tantric source text for the Haṭha Yoga Traditions, giving a rich preview for Jim's upcoming online course, YS 206 | The Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭha Yoga's Source Text. Speaker BioDr. James Mallinson is Reader in Indology and Yoga Studies at SOAS University of London. His research focuses on the history and current traditional practice of yoga and his primary methods are philology, ethnography and art history. Dr. Mallinson led the Haṭha Yoga Project (2015–2021), a six-person research project on the history of physical yoga funded by the European Research Council. The project's core outputs will be ten critical editions of Sanskrit texts on physical yoga and four monographs on its history and current practice. Together with Professor Jürgen Hanneder (University of Marburg), Dr. Mallinson is now leading the Light on Hatha Yoga Project (2021–2024) which will produce a critical edition of the Haṭhapradīpikā.Among Dr. Mallinson's publications are The Khecarīvidyā of Ādinātha, a Critical Edition and Annotated Translation of an Early Text on Haṭhayoga (Routledge, 2007), a revision of his doctoral thesis, which was supervised by Professor Alexis Sanderson at the University of Oxford, where Dr. Mallinson also read Sanskrit as an undergraduate, Roots of Yoga (Penguin Classics, 2017, co-authored with Mark Singleton) and The Amṛtasiddhi and Amṛtasiddhimūla: The Earliest Texts of the Haṭhayoga Tradition (École française d'Extreme-orient, Pondicherry, 2021). Dr. Mallinson has spent more than ten years living in India with traditional ascetics and practitioners of yoga, and at the 2013 Kumbh Mela was awarded the title of Mahant by the Rāmānandī Saṃpradāya.LinksYS 206 | The Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭha Yoga's Source Texthttps://soas.academia.edu/JamesMallinsonThe Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭhayoga's Tantric Buddhist Source TextHaṭhayoga's Early History: From Vajrayāna Sexual Restraint to Universal Somatic Soteriology
