Episode notes
The Immanent Frame and the Shift in Belief
- Charles Taylor highlighted the shift in belief from a transcendent order to a secular frame.
- 500 years ago, it was nearly impossible not to believe in God, but the Enlightenment changed that.
The Impact of Enlightenment and Science
- The Enlightenment and scientific discoveries shifted the worldview from God as the direct cause of natural events to natural laws.
- This led to the emergence of the term 'supernatural,' which implies a separation between God and the natural world.
Secularism and Personal Values
- Secularism doesn't oppose personal values but rejects a privileged religious interpretation of life events.
- It emphasizes observable facts and reason over subjective values, pushing faith into the personal realm.
