About this listen
In a world where freedom has become such a key value, and in many ways is aligned with human dignity, does believing in God offend our freedom, or does it in fact provide a foundation for it?
In this episode we explore the implications of "I think, there I am" both in terms of how we view what is and could be real, and how we understand our freedom. With the glorification of disengaged reason, we can be fooled into thinking our mind is the sole maker of meaning in the universe.
"Disengagement may be quite the wrong way to go about increasing understanding" (p. 285)
"The prestige of the stance begins to dictate what we can take in as reality" (p.286)
