The Re-enchantment of the World
In the studio lately I’ve been catching up on podcast listening. Here’s one that stood out. This discussion between Stanford University professor Joshua Landy and UC-Davis professor Michael Saler aired on a recent Entitled Opinions (about Life and Literature) with Robert Harrison on KZSU-Stanford. (Harrison is out of the studio for this one.) It’s thoughtful, devoid of cliche, and touches on a lot of themes that come up in discussions here: Rationalism, Romanticism, spirituality, Pragmatism, Romantic Irony vs. Slacker Irony, villiany, scientific discovery as a form of Wonder, and Star Trek. It’s an absolute must-listen.
