The Good News: We're Not Politically Divided Anymore. The Bad News...?
Season 3, Episode 311, Nov 12, 2020, 09:02 AM
We’re not politically divided anymore. It’s more complex than that, and potentially more dangerous.
What happens when there is no commonly accepted authoritative voice for what is so, and what is not so, in the world? What happens when half the people think a certain kind of behavior is shameful, and another half think it is praiseworthy?
Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities.
In short, we want to foster conversations, develop habits, and create communities that are grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.
