In 'Being and Time', Heidegger delves into the fundamental question of what it means to 'be'. The book is divided into two main divisions: the first analyzes the existentials of Dasein, or 'being-in-the-world', while the second grounds these existentials in temporality. Heidegger introduces key concepts such as 'Dasein', 'Being-with', and the three temporal ecstases (having-been, present, and to-come), emphasizing that Dasein's existence is essentially futural and characterized by its possibilities and projects. The work challenges traditional philosophical notions of subject and object, instead positing that Dasein is inseparable from its world and historical context[2][4][5].
The Concept of Anxiety, by Søren Kierkegaard, is a seminal work in existentialist philosophy that explores the nature of anxiety and its relationship to freedom and faith. Kierkegaard argues that anxiety is not merely a negative emotion but a fundamental aspect of human existence, arising from our awareness of our own freedom and the possibilities it entails. He connects anxiety to the ethical and religious dimensions of human life, examining how we respond to the demands of freedom and the potential for both good and evil. The book's profound exploration of human existence continues to influence philosophical and theological thought.
Søren Kierkegaard's "The Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing" delves into the complexities of faith and the human condition. Kierkegaard emphasizes the importance of single-mindedness in one's devotion to God, arguing against divided loyalties and the pursuit of worldly desires. The book explores the concept of a 'fractured will,' where individuals are torn between their commitment to God and their pursuit of earthly gains. Kierkegaard challenges readers to examine their motivations and to strive for a pure, undivided devotion to God. His work remains influential in theological and philosophical circles.
In this final installment of 'The Chronicles of Narnia', a false Aslan is set up in the north-western borderlands of Narnia, leading to conflict between true and false Narnians and between Narnia and Calormen. King Tirian, with the help of Eustace and Jill, uncovers the plot and fights back. The story concludes with Aslan terminating the world of Narnia after a 'last battle' and leading the faithful to a new, perfect Narnia. The novel explores themes of faith, deception, and the ultimate redemption of Narnia[1][3][4].
On this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by philosopher C. Stephen Evans to discuss the definition of wisdom, why contemporary philosophy doesn't talk about it, and how we might go about getting wisdom today.
