Vi kastar oss in i det litterära 1700-talets mitt. Vi följer Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht, den första svenska kvinnan som levde på sitt skrivande, genom hennes förälskelser, sorger och duster med profiler som Olof von Dalin och Rousseau. Hon stred för kvinnans rättigheter samtidigt som hon hade det monetära att fundera över, hyra, skrivbläck och frukostflingor skulle betalas.Få månatligt extraavsnitt och lyssna på avsnitten utan reklam genom att bli prenumerant, en av grimbergs utvaldahttps://historiepodden.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Today we talk about the work of the philosopher Charles Taylor. First, we trace the historical origins of how he views the modern self. From the Greeks to the Reformation. From Descartes to Rousseau. The modern self to him is something "irreconcilably multileveled". Then we talk about our modern focus on authenticity as a moral ideal and why Taylor thinks many people misunderstand what it requires. Hope you love it! :) Sponsors: The Perfect Jean: https://theperfectjean.nyc Code: PT15  Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Thank you so much for listening!

Jean-Jacques Rousseau é uma figura complexa e, ao mesmo tempo, profundamente influente na história do pensamento ocidental. Sua proposta de reorganizar a sociedade humana com base na liberdade e na “vontade geral” impactou não apenas as revoluções políticas modernas, mas também influenciou, de maneira indireta, visões sobre a comunidade, a moralidade e a organização religiosa. Ao propor que o ser humano é bom por natureza e que a sociedade o corrompe, Rousseau introduz uma antropologia otimista que desafia a doutrina cristã da queda e a necessidade da graça redentora. Sua “vontade geral” — uma forma idealizada de soberania popular — promete a emancipação total do indivíduo pela coletividade, mas o faz à custa da singularidade da consciência, da transcendência divina e da autoridade espiritual. Neste episódio, exploramos as implicações dessa visão para a eclesiologia adventista e para o modelo organizacional da IASD. O objetivo é, simultaneamente, aprender com os alertas de Rousseau sobre participação e alienação, e criticar as armadilhas filosóficas de um pensamento que pode ameaçar as bases da ordem espiritual e eclesiástica.

C dans l'air l'invité du 6 octobre 2025 avec Dominique Rousseau, constitutionnaliste, professeur à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.Déflagration politique ce matin : quelques heures à peine après avoir formé son gouvernement, Sébastien Lecornu a remis lundi sa démission, fragilisé de l'intérieur par la fronde des Républicains de Bruno Retailleau, une décision qui place Emmanuel Macron au pied du mur. Nomination d'un nouveau Premier ministre ? Dissolution de l'Assemblée ?Troisième Premier ministre désigné en un an depuis la dissolution de juin 2024, Sébastien Lecornu, nommé le 9 septembre et qui devait tenir son premier Conseil des ministres lundi, s'est rendu aux premières heures de la matinée à l'Élysée pour remettre sa démission au président, qui l'a acceptée. "Les conditions n'étaient plus remplies" pour rester, a-t-il déclaré un peu plus tard depuis Matignon, regrettant "les appétits partisans" ayant conduit à sa démission. Il a regretté que son offre de renoncer à l'article 49.3 de la Constitution pour redonner la main au Parlement n'avait "pas permis" d'évacuer la menace d'une censure agitée par la gauche et le Rassemblement national.Il s'agit du gouvernement le plus bref de la Ve République, à peine plus d'une douzaine d'heures. Sa chute plonge la France dans une crise politique sans précédent depuis des décennies.Dominique Rousseau, constitutionnaliste, professeur à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, est notre invité. Il analysera avec nous la situation politique inédite dans laquelle nous sommes. Il nous dira aussi quelles sont désormais les options du président de la République. Dissoudre une Assemblée figée en trois blocs ? Faire appel à un Premier ministre de gauche ? Faire appel à une personne non marquée à la tête d'un gouvernement technique ? Démissionner ? Et en cas de dissolution, dans quel délai doivent être organisée des élections législatives ?

Send us a textWhat does it take to race at a world-class level when running itself isn't an option? We sit with Meikael Beaudoin-Rousseau to trace a brutal knee injury—down to bone—and the long, confusing road back: tendon thickening, scar pain that burns like hot iron, false starts, and a fitness base built on a handbike, arms-only swims, and an elliptical. Meika is candid about uncertainty and the daily choice to believe that today could be the first day of the comeback. Then we go deep on what that mindset looks like on the start line, from a med-tent finish at Pikes Peak to a podium at the Rut VK, and how trail racing rewards whole-body fitness even when mileage is scarce.We widen the lens to the life that makes the athlete. Meika's a tri-citizen (United States, France, Canada) who grew up in California splitting time between ocean and Sierra, now based in Boulder's running community. He talks gardening, ocean kayak fishing with whales and dolphins, and the grounding joy of catching and cooking his own food. We cover Stanford, discovering pro trail running through Megan and David Roche, and why sub-ultra distances still feel like home while 50K races like OCC/CCC pull him toward longer adventures that feel like missions.The future of the sport takes center stage: how sub-ultra is booming, why FKTs and personal mountain projects should live alongside race series, and the role of storytelling in building real fandom. Meika shares honest takes on sponsorship trends, Brooks' investment in sub-ultra, anti-doping beyond race-day tests, world championships versus UTMB, and the calendar coordination needed for true head-to-heads. Through it all, he stays focused on longevity and authenticity—keeping the community feel while growing prize money, media, and opportunity.If this conversation fires you up, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a quick rating and review to help more trail fans find the show. Then tell us: what should trail running fix first as it grows?Follow Meikael on IG - @mountain_man_meikFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

Can democracy survive without trust in the law? In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, host Andrew Keen speaks with Burt Neuborne, founding legal director of the Brennan Center for Justice and professor of law at NYU, about the complex relationship between law and trust in America. From Hobbes and Rousseau to Madison, Lincoln, and the U.S. Constitution itself, Neuborne explores how law can both deter or worst instincts and inspire our better angels.

Slovo empatie se dávno stalo střelivem v kulturních válkách. Elon Musk prohlásil, že západní kulturu oslabuje, a po smrti Charlieho Kirka zaplavila sociální sítě jemu připsaná věta, že „empatii nesnáší“, protože je to „smyšlený new age pojem“. Do debaty byla navíc zatažena i Hannah Arendtová s výrokem, podle něhož kultura odmítající empatii upadá do barbarství.Jde však o manipulaci. Třeba u Kirka se opomnělo zmínit, že v daném citátu nezavrhoval ohled na druhého, ale rozlišoval mezi empatií (vciťováním), kterou odmítal, a sympatií (soucitem), k níž se hlásil. Citát přisouzený Arendtové je nejspíše smyšlený – a ironicky připsaný autorce, která empatií proslulá nebyla, jak ukazuje i její nekompromisní kniha Eichmann v Jeruzalémě. Deborah Nelsonová ji proto ve své oceňované knize Tough Enough zařadila mezi ženy, které spojovaly břitký intelekt s tvrdostí.Sama empatie je ovšem fascinující téma, již tím, že se vzpírá podobné válečnické inscenaci. Primatologové ukazují, že lidé i lidoopi jsou na sebe přirozeně naladění – neuronové zrcadlení patří k samé podstatě soužití, není mimořádným výkonem. Skutečným výkonem je naopak schopnost zrcadlení blokovat: bez této brzdy bychom jen přejímali emoce a stanoviska druhých a nebyli schopni samostatného myšlení. Byli bychom, řečeno s Rousseauem, „divoši“ – soucitní, ale bezmocní a snadno manipulovatelní.Na tuto odvrácenou stránku upozorňuje i americko-německý myslitel Fritz Breithaupt, autor knih Kultury empatie a Temná strana empatie. Empatie je sice nezbytná pro lidské soužití, zároveň ale může oslabovat vlastní já a ukazuje se jako sporný zdroj morálky. Morální otázky zplošťuje a vyhrocuje: kdo se příliš vciťuje, má sklon k černobílému vidění i k dělení na přátele a nepřátele. Od přiměřené reakce jsme pak spíše dále než blíže. Nelze ani tvrdit, že by empatie byla automatickou dobrou vlastností. Vždyť se jí vyznačuje kvalitní manipulátor i mučitel.Máme se tedy empatii odnaučit? I kdyby to bylo možné, žádoucí by to nebylo. Být empatický činí život lepším. Empatičtější člověk žije v komplexnější skutečnosti – vstřebává do svého života světy druhých, a rozšiřuje si tak vlastní obzor. Empatie je v tomto smyslu příjemná i z čistě sobeckých důvodů. Může být východiskem k hlubšímu vnímání reality; má i svou estetickou stránku: empatie nás činí vnímavější vůči kráse. Zárukou dobra však sama o sobě není. Klíč k dobru spočívá v propojení empatie se soudností a odvahou jednat.KapitolyI. Bitva citátů – smyšlených [úvod až 10:30]II.

Gustav III (1746–1792) hade ett kluvet förhållande till upplysningens idéer. Hans reformer inom straffrätt, religionsfrihet, hälsa och kultur var tydliga uttryck för upplysningstänkandet. Samtidigt innebar inskränkningar i tryckfriheten och motståndet mot den franska revolutionen att han aldrig fullt ut kunde förena upplysningens ideal om frihet med sin egen enväldiga maktutövning.Redan som kronprins läste Gustav III upplysningsfilosofer som Voltaire, Rousseau och Montesquieu. Som kung blev han en av de främsta upplysta despoterna – en härskare som förenade enväldig makt med reformer inspirerade av upplysningens ideal. Men han föredrog att läsa upplysningsfilosofer framför att träffa dem.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Hugo Nordland, aktuell med boken Överlevaren – En biografi om Gustav III (Historiska Media).Upplysningen förknippas ofta med förnuft, vetenskap, tolerans och samhälleliga reformer. I Frankrike fick rörelsen kanske sitt tydligaste uttryck i Encyklopedien (1751), där tidens samlade kunskap gjordes tillgänglig för allmänheten.Den svenska upplysningen utvecklades inte som en enhetlig rörelse utan antog upplysningsidéer inom vetenskap, litteratur och politik. Spridningen skedde genom vetenskapliga akademier, offentliga sällskap och tidningar, snarare än genom en samlad opinionsrörelse, och banade väg för reformer som ökad religions- och tryckfrihet samt tidig folklig folkbildning. Men vetenskapshistorikern Tore Frängsmyr har ifrågasatt om Sverige alls hade en upplysning i egentlig mening, och menat att det snarare rörde sig om pragmatiska nyttoreformer än en intellektuell rörelse inspirerad av franska filosofer.Samtidigt menar forskare som Marie-Christine Skuncke och Jakob Christensson att man mycket väl kan tala om en svensk upplysning – om än i en mer moderat, kristen och praktiskt orienterad form. Här symboliseras upplysningen snarare av sockenprästen som lärde bönder att vaccinera sina barn, lantmätaren som kartlade landet och provinsialläkaren som bidrog till folkets hälsa.Mot denna bakgrund framstår Gustav III som en central gestalt i 1700-talets kulturhistoria. Hans politik speglade både upplysningens inflytande och det svenska samhällets särdrag. I Lovisa Ulrikas omfattande bibliotek på Drottningholm tillgodogjorde han sig europeisk filosofi – särskilt påverkades han av fysiokraten Mercier de La Rivière och dennes idé om en ”naturlig ordning”. Till sin mor skrev han entusiastiskt:”Den är utomordentligt intressant och lägger fram nya och riktiga idéer, som tills nu har undgått till och med de mest upplysta politikers ögon.”Efter statsvälvningen 1772 genomförde Gustav III reformer som speglade Beccarias idéer om en humanare straffrätt: tortyr som förhörsmetod avskaffades och dödsstraffet begränsades från 1779 till att gälla endast mord, dråp och barnamord. Barnamordsplakatet 1778 gav ogifta mödrar rätt att föda anonymt för att minska barnamorden.Bildtext: Gustav III (i guldfärgad rock) tillsammans med sina bröder prins Fredrik Adolf och prins Karl, den senare sedermera kung Karl XIII. Gustav III framställs ofta som en upplyst despot – en monark som förenade enväldets makt med reformer präglade av upplysningstidens idéer. Konstnär: Alexander Roslin, Tre bröder.

Durant le siècle des Lumières, un mouvement sans précédent s'est développé lorsque des philosophes comme Rousseau, Voltaire, Locke, Montesquieu ou Diderot ont combattu l'obscurantisme et l'ignorance. « Les lumières, c'est plus d'un siècle de débats, de discussions », affirme le philosophe Alexandre Dupeyrix.

Barbara Carnevali"Emilio e Sofia 2.0"Festival Filosofiawww.festivalfilosofia.itFestival Filosofia, SassuoloSabato 20 settembre 2025, ore 18:00Barbara CarnevaliEmilio e Sofia 2.0Rileggere Rousseau all'epoca dei socialIn che modo rileggere Rousseau nell'epoca dei social può illuminare il rapporto tra immagine di sé e riconoscimento degli altri? Questa lezione recupera il percorso educativo di Emilio e di Sofia per mostrare come il lavoro di Rousseau consegni due questioni-chiave alla nostra epoca, ovvero il principio di autonomia e la ricerca di autenticità come tecniche di saggezza, forme di indipendenza dai social e dal sociale e fondamento dell'uguaglianza tra i sessi.Barbara Carnevali  è direttrice di studi in Filosofia e professoressa di Estetica sociale presso l'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) di Parigi. Insegna anche all'Accademia di architettura dell'Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI). Il suo lavoro ruota intorno alla nozione di Estetica Sociale, che riflette sul rapporto tra forme sociali e forme estetiche. Un'altra parte rilevante della sua ricerca è dedicata alla modernità filosofica, in particolare alle forme dell'io moderno, e al rapporto tra filosofia e letteratura. I suoi studi fanno convergere filosofia, teoria sociale e letteratura, indagando le forme attraverso cui si rappresenta e si plasma l'esperienza moderna. Fa parte del comitato direttivo delle riviste “Intersezioni” e “European Journal of Philosophy” ed è editorialista per il quotidiano “La Stampa”. Tra i suoi libri: Romanticismo e riconoscimento. Figure della coscienza in Rousseau (Bologna 2004); Le apparenze sociali. Una filosofia del prestigio (Bologna 2012), di cui si segnala l'edizione in inglese ampiamente rivista e aggiornata: Social Appearances. A Philosophy of Display and Prestige (New York 2020); La linea rossa. Milano e il design della modernità (in corso di pubblicazione, Milano 2025).

No Linhas Cruzadas desta semana, o dilema filosófico que atravessa séculos: Será que o Homem é o Lobo do Homem? Hobbes acredita que, sem o Estado, a vida seria violenta e brutal. Já pensadores como Rousseau e Marx contestaram essa visão, afirmando que é a sociedade que corrompe o homem. Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé vão a fundo no embate entre gigantes. E, sem perder a provocação, Pondé afirma: “É melhor um Leviatã que funcione, mesmo não sendo bonzinho, do que um que seja simpático e incapaz de controlar a violência.”O programa explora também a troca de cartas entre Einstein e Freud sobre a guerra. Entre filosofia, psicanálise e política, o programa levanta uma questão urgente: como lidar com nossa ambivalência entre criação e destruição em um mundo cada vez mais instável?#SomosCultura#TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #LinhasCruzadas #Direita #Política

C dans l'air l'invité du 8 septembre 2025 avec Dominique ROUSSEAU, juriste et professeur de droit constitutionnel.En se soumettant à un vote de confiance ce lundi, le Premier ministre devrait entrainer la démission de son gouvernement. En arrivant à Matignon pour succéder à Michel Banier, le 13 décembre dernier, François Bayrou disait : « Je sais que les chances de difficultés sont beaucoup plus importantes que les chances de succès ». Neuf mois plus tard, son discours à la tribune de l'Assemblée nationale aujourd'hui devrait sonner comme un baroud d'honneur. L'ensemble des oppositions a en effet fait savoir qu'elle voterait contre la question de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale. La chute de François Bayrou devrait ouvrir une nouvelle période d'incertitude. Le projet de loi de finances doit être, théoriquement, examiné au Parlement à partir du 15 octobre pour une publication au « Journal officiel » au plus tard le 31 décembre. Et ce, alors que les taux d'intérêt de la dette française s'envolent et que l'agence de notation Fitch doit rendre son verdict le 12 septembre sur la note souveraine de la France. Les turbulences au sommet de l'État auront aussi un impact sur la rentrée sociale, déjà marquée par le mouvement « Bloquons tout » du 10 septembre et par la mobilisation intersyndicale du 18 septembre. Dans ce contexte, Emmanuel Macron se retrouve en première ligne. Dominique Rousseau nous donnera son analyse de la situation politique actuelle, et de ce que devrait faire le président de la République en cas de chute du gouvernement Bayrou. Il reviendra également avec nous sur la crise de régime qui inquiète les observateurs, et sur l'efficacité ou non des institutions de de la Vème République pour résoudre l'impasse politique dans laquelle la France pourrait être plongée.

Miroslav Volf critiques ambition, love of status, and superiority, offering a Christ-shaped vision of agapic love and humble glory.“'And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?' If you received everything you have as a gift and if your existence as the recipient is also a gift, all ground for boasting is gone. Correspondingly, striving for superiority over others, seeking to make oneself better than others and glorying in that achievement, is possible only as an existential lie. It is not just a lie that all strivers and boasters tell themselves. More troublingly, that lie is part of the ideology that is the wisdom of a certain twisted and world-negating form of the world.”In Lecture 5, the final of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a theological and moral vision that critiques the dominant culture of ambition, superiority, and status. Tracing the destructive consequences of Epithumic desire and the relentless “race of honors,” Volf contrasts them with agapic love—God's self-giving, unconditional love. Drawing from Paul's Christ hymn in Philippians 2 and philosophical insights from Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Max Scheler, Volf reveals the radical claim that striving for superiority is not merely harmful but fundamentally false. Through Christ's self-emptying, even to the point of death, we glimpse a redefinition of glory that subverts all worldly hierarchies. The love that saves is the love that descends. In a world ravaged by competition, inequality, and devastation, Volf calls for fierce, humble, and world-affirming love—a love that mends what can be mended, and makes the world home again.Episode Highlights“Striving for superiority over others… is possible only as an existential lie.”“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“God cancels the standards of the kind of aspiration whose goal is superiority.”“This is neither self-denial nor denial of the world. This is love for the world at work.”Show NotesAgapic love vs. Epithemic desire and self-centered striving“Striving for superiority… is possible only as an existential lie.”Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 and the “race of shame”Rousseau: striving for superiority gives us “a multitude of bad things”Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and pursuit of powerMax Scheler: downward love, not upward striving“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”Self-love as agapic: “I am entirely a gift to myself.”Raphael's Transfiguration and the chaos belowDemon possession as symbolic of systemic and spiritual powerlessness“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“The world is the home of God and humans together.”God's love affirms the dignity of even the most unlovable creatureLove as spontaneous overflow, not moral condescension“Mending what can be mended… mourning with those who mourn and dancing with those who rejoice.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Starting in 2025, we will be rolling out one talk a month that was presented at the conference. We sit down with the original presenters throughout 2025 to see what has changed since 2022. With Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives seemingly on the chopping block, we are curious to hear what our original participants are witnessing and experiencing on the ground. Is DEI really dead or just in remission? Are there healthy alternatives to DEI that we should consider, or do we throw the baby out with the bathwater and wipe our hands clean? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.This month Jennifer Richmond interviews Lyell Asher.  In the update to his original talk on Liberal Approaches to Diversity and Inclusion, where he gave us suggestions on how ways to “hack” DEI, we explore what has changed since 2022. His methods of introducing complexity and nuance into DEI conversations remains a viable “hack” for DEI, but we note that the fervor for DEI training has subsided or maybe gone underground. However, what has not changed much is the rise of the “bureaucratic class” in academia, responsible for implementing ideological pedagogy that maligns the pursuit of knowledge.Podcast Notes:How Ed Schools Became a Menace to Higher Education, Lyell Asher in Quillette https://quillette.com/2019/03/06/how-ed-schools-became-a-menace-to-higher-education/Look Who's Talking About Equity, Lyell Asher in Quillette https://quillette.com/2020/08/12/look-whos-talking-about-educational-equity/Understanding Ed School Ideology and Dysfunction | Lyell Asher, Hold my Drink Podcast (now Dissidents Podcast)Why Knowledge Matters: Rescuing Our Children from Failed Educational Theories, E.D.

I bet you'd like to have an excuse to read some Aristotle, and Locke, Rousseau, Simone Weil, and other fun texts. Well, go read about this opportunity at partiallyexaminedlife.com/class, and then follow the link to enroll. Not sure? Watch a sample (a full seminar from last semester on Plato) of what such a class is really like.

We live in an age where “compassion” and “tolerance” are paraded as the highest virtues. But when mercy is divorced from truth, it becomes cruelty in disguise. Rabbi Dunner takes us on a journey from Rousseau to Parshas Re'eh, and from woke politics to Rambam, to discover why the Torah warns us: “lo tachmol velo techaseh alav” — that false compassion destroys.

The Secular Enlightenment by Professor Margaret C. Jacob, has been called a major new history on how the Enlightenment transformed people's everyday lives. It's a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Human frailties once attributed to sin were now viewed through the lens of the newly conceived social sciences. People entered churches not to pray but to admire the architecture, and some began to spend their Sunday mornings reading a newspaper or even a risqué book. The secular-minded pursued their own temporal and commercial well-being without concern for the life hereafter, regarding their successes as the rewards for their actions and their failures as the result of blind economic forces. A wonderful work of intellectual and cultural history, The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. Margaret Jacob is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her many books include The Radical Enlightenment: Pantheists, Freemasons, and Republicans and The First Knowledge Economy: Human Capital and the European Economy, 1750-1850.

Professor Kozlowski tackles the French Enlightenment with excerpts from Montesquieu and Rousseau. The first is an orderly, encyclopedic thinker trying to categorize and classify every element of political philosophy; the second may well be a proto-Anarchist masquerading as an Enlightenment mainstay. Really, what were we expecting from the French?Readings today come from Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws, as well as The Social Contract and "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" by Rousseau.Additional readings include Voltaire's Candide and Moliere's Don Juan, as well as a casual suggestion that you should read some David Hume, (here's an especially representative collection). And of course, today's video game recommendation is Europa Universalis.

Send us a textIn The Social Contract, the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau suggested that democracy was feasible only in smaller polities where the citizens have shared common interests. What might Rousseau have to say about the current-day United States, with its sprawling national government and a citizenry that can't even agree on basic facts? Joe and Mark revisit their college classrooms to discuss Rousseau's concept of the general will, whether it's achievable in a large country, or whether local politics provides its only true expression.

Broadcast: August 15, 2025 Todd Thompson kicks off his new weekly broadcast with a personal and philosophical deep-dive into the moral void left by a culture replacing "God" with ideological religion. What begins as a true story from 2008—being stranded in rural North Carolina and picked up by a Christian biker—becomes the anchor for a larger revelation: that modern “atheists” didn't abandon religion. They just swapped it for something more dangerous—a punishing, re-branded Marxist orthodoxy obnoxiously masquerading as progress. Inside: A raw account of a chance meeting with “The Lord's Bikers” and a sermon by Pastor Snake that shattered preconceptions. Reflections on Dennis, Andre, and other real travel encounters that shaped Todd's rejection of utopianism and return to spiritual humility. A dismantling of Rousseau's Noble Savage fantasy and the rise of moral performance on the virtual street corner over honest introspection ad accountability. A hard pivot in the final segment: the enemy isn't religion—it's re-named Marxist ideology weaponized as moral law. This episode marks the beginning of what Todd now calls The Todd-God Alliance. A spiritual and strategic realignment, not rooted in doctrine, but in shared Western values and a common enemy: ideological colonizers cloaked in performative compassion. “The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” - Solzhenitsyn

To celebrate the release on July 29th of The War on Science, we have recorded 20 podcast interviews with authors from the book. Starting on July 22nd, with Richard Dawkins, we will be releasing one interview per day. Interviewees in order, will be:Richard Dawkins July 23rdNiall Ferguson July 24thNicholas Christakis July 25thMaarten Boudry July 26thAbigail Thompson July 27thJohn Armstrong July 28thSally Satel – July 30Elizabeth Weiss – July 31Solveig Gold and Joshua Katz – August 1Frances Widdowson – August 2Carole Hooven – August 3Janice Fiamengo – August 4Geoff Horsman – August 5Alessandro Strumia – August 6Roger Cohen and Amy Wax – August 7Peter Boghossian – August 8Lauren Schwartz and Arthur Rousseau – August 9Alex Byrne and Moti Gorin – August 10Judith Suissa and Alice Sullivan – August 11Karleen Gribble – August 12Dorian Abbot – August 13The topics these authors discuss range over ideas including the ideological corruption of science, historical examples of the demise of academia, free speech in academia, social justice activism replacing scholarship in many disciplines, disruptions of science from mathematics to medicine, cancel culture, the harm caused by DEI bureaucracies at universities, distortions of biology, disingenous and dangerous distortions of the distinctions between gender and sex in medicine, and false premises impacting on gender affirming care for minors, to, finally, a set of principles universities should adopt to recover from the current internal culture war. The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west. I am hoping that you will find the interviews enlightening and encourage you to look at the new book when it is released, and help become part of the effort to restore sound science and scholarship in academia.

Jeff Rousseau's story is one of redemption and difficult recovery. In the 1990s, Jeff fell into addiction and found himself caught in a world of meth—one that would ravage northeast Arkansas for decades. After multiple run-ins with the law, he eventually landed in prison, where he encountered Christ and began a slow but determined path to healing. Along the way, Jeff managed Paragould's beloved Bonanza restaurant (and even shares the secret Monterrey Chicken recipe), battled Lyme disease, and survived a severe case of COVID that left him on a ventilator and facing the possibility of a double lung transplant. But in a moment doctors couldn't explain, the scars in his lungs were gone. In this episode, Jeff reflects on what God has done, how far he's come, and where he's going next.

We're still not done with Libra – or Libra is not done with us! In Episode 28, DDSWTNP pick up threads left hanging after our three-part treatment of DeLillo's JFK novel. While tackling a wide variety of subjects, this episode homes in on Anthony DeCurtis's 1988 interview with DeLillo for Rolling Stone (and later re-published in expanded form), “An Outsider in This Society.” We're led to discuss DeLillo's canny interview articulations in general, his method of writing by day and reading more history by night, and his reply to the suggestion that on the basis of Libra some readers regarded him as “a member of the paranoid left”: “I don't have a program.” Along the way we also draw in vivid evidence of how DeLillo subtly reworked the voice of Marguerite Oswald from testimony in the Warren Report, what fellow Oswald novelist Norman Mailer had to say about Libra, and all that is illuminated by an exchange of letters to the New York Times between DeLillo and one of the Warren Report investigators. We also try here to understand as fully as possible the nuances of DeLillo's ideas about historical fiction that emerge in the incredible DeCurtis interview: what DeLillo means when he says Libra is “a piece of work which is obviously fiction,” touts novels' ability to “redeem” readers' “despair,” and makes the powerful claim that “fiction rescues history from its confusions.” We quote enough that listeners will get plenty of insight even without having read the DeCurtis interview in full, and we look forward to applying many of the lessons about history learned here to future works like Underworld. “Some stories never end,” as DeLillo writes to begin “Assassination Aura,” and that's true of this episode's cover image, which uses a National Enquirer cover from March 2025 about new releases of JFK files. The interlude clip near the beginning is from Oswald's August 1963 interviews on WDSU-TV in New Orleans. Finally, as we note in the episode, thanks to Joel in Toronto for an Instagram comment (we're @delillopodcast) that inspired our return to the DeCurtis interview. Texts mentioned and discussed in this episode: Aristotle, Poetics.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible. Zohran Mamdani's Stalinist Islamist fusion of ideologies has overtaken parts of Europe and is now infiltrating the U.S., funded by entities like Qatar, Hamas, Iran, and Communist China. Later, socialism is an economic ideology from Marxism, which is a broader life ideology encompassing socialism but extending to cultural, social, and political transformation. The modern activists and professors are unoriginal Karl Marx wannabes who regurgitate ideas from Marx, Hegel, and Rousseau. Thery reject individual liberty and free will as divisive and weak, favoring instead class unity and collective power. There is a comprehensive war on civil society, culture, and America's foundations—targeting family, economy, and liberty—rooted in deadly, anti-human Marxist principles that promote genocide and centralized power.  Afterward, there is a vile and destructive element within the Republican Party. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is undermining Trump and introducing amendments removing $500 million in military aid to Israel from the National Defense Authorization Act.  Finally, Mahmoud Khalil filed a $20 million claim against the Trump administration. Only in America does a pro Hamas protestor like this turnaround and bring a lawsuit when he should never have been here in the first place. David Schoen calls in to explain that Khalil is 100% deportable under U.S. Code sections 1227 and 1182 for endorsing and supporting Hamas. Learn more about your ad choices.
