Understanding Interstellar in a Secular Age.

How can philosophy and theology help us understand what makes Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" such a compelling movie?

What does longing for transcendence and meaning in our modern, secular age look like? Does Nolan's answer ultimately satisfy us?

In this episode, we'll talk about one of Christopher Nolan's best films and use it to explore:

-the philosophy of Charles Taylor and James K.A. Smith

-Soren Kierkegaard

- Naturalism/Materialism

- Christian theology about the Trinity and love

-Nietzsche and morality

-noted atheist, Sam Harris's search for an objective ethical standard

-eugenics

-"New Age" answers to human longings for transcendence

and more!
