The Socratic Sessions Erik Wielenberg on Religion and the Courage to Face Reality
🔍 Overview: In this clip, philosopher Erik Wielenberg explores humanity's reliance on religion as a source of solace against the evils we encounter and the unknowns of the future. He then challenges this view by discussing how courage enables us to break free from the need for religious comfort, accepting that death is final and that this life is all we have. Wielenberg argues that facing reality without illusions is the path to true freedom.
