Deep dives
Political Theology and Integrating Different Facets of Life
Political theology and philosophy serve as avenues to integrate the various facets of life in late modernity, moving away from hyper-specialization towards a holistic approach. This contrasts with the Enlightenment's abandonment of such discussions due to complexity and potential divisiveness. The speaker advocates for addressing overarching matters to avoid being mere cogs in an increasingly mechanized world.
