  • Theopolitics: Pope Benedict XVI vs. Jurgen Habermas on the Future of Europe

    Theopolitics: Pope Benedict XVI vs. Jurgen Habermas on the Future of Europe
    Jan 16 2023
    Tyler and Rory discuss the pivotal dialogue between Pope Benedict XVI (then Cardinal Ratzinger) and Frankfurt alumni and philosopher of the European Union, Jurgen Habermas, on the future of Europe and the World. With the orienting discussion of "the pre-political foundations of the moral state" the two representatives of the religious and secular worldviews discuss the problem of plurality in global order, the failure of liberal democracy to accommodate anything other than the secular, the cultural imperialism of western rationality, the pathologies of reason and religion, and the need for bonds of social solidarity to navigate intercultural tension between the secular and the religious.Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/thamsterEBLFollow us on Twitter:https://twitter.com/TylerThamsterhttps://twitter.com/philosophy4fit https://twitter.com/JeffersonLee86https://twitter.com/DiscntTomCruisehttps://twitter.com/juicedavisxThumbnail Art and Video editing by: Censored Anon: https://t.me/thecensoredanonreturnsOriginal Music by: https://soundcloud.com/k-millermusicTo Support us: https://linktr.ee/thamster Ko-fi.com/thamsterwitnat

  • Theopolitics: Pope Francis & the Residential Schools

    Theopolitics: Pope Francis & the Residential Schools
    Jan 10 2023
    Tyler is joined by Rory (Philosophy for Fitness) to discuss Pope Francis's visit to Canada for his Papal Apology over the Catholic Church involvement in the Canadian Residential School system. We discuss the "Mass Grave" hysteria and media blood libel, the real complexity glazed over by the popular narrative of the Church's involvement in the residential school system, the evil of the Canadian Government's intent to erase indigenous culture and create "the White Indian", and finally, we defend Pope Francis' statements made in Canada from critique by Right-leaning Catholics themselves.

  • Theopolitics: Ontological Violence

    Theopolitics: Ontological Violence
    Jan 10 2023
    Nearing the end of our series on Milbank's "Theology and Social Theory", we turn to the culmination of the genealogical excavation of modernity, securalism and liberalism. From the aporias of Liberalism culminating in Nihilist Ontology, a critical look is given to Heidegger, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Lyotard and to the grand-daddy of them all, Friedrich Nietzsche. The Ontology of Violence throughout is juxtaposed with the uniquely Christian Ontology of Peace proposed by Milbank through an Augustinian lens.

  • Theopolitics: Against Hegel

    Theopolitics: Against Hegel
    Jan 9 2022
    Tyler and Dorus continue discussing Milbank's "Theology and Social Theory", now turning to Theology and Dialectics. In this video, we take aim at the great German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Following with what in Hegel's work Milbank wishes to retain and that which he is against in Hegel, we explore the ways in which Hegel's critique of modernism not only does not go far enough but culminates in a story that leads to the same liberal State, underpinned by a blend of Kantian and Fichtean deontology within Boehme’s gnostic trinitarianism. Against Hegel, we affirm the orthodox understanding of the Trinity and the Christ Event as a counter to Hegel's singular Protestant focus on the economic Trinity over the immanent Trinity and the heterodox dialectic that results from it.

  • Theopolitics: From De Maistre to Durkheim

    Theopolitics: From De Maistre to Durkheim
    Sep 30 2021
    Continuing our series on Theology and Social Theory, we turn to an examination of work of the Catholic Reactionaries to unearth the origins of what became the secular social sciences through the work of August Comte and Emile Durkheim. Both a critique of De Maistre and De Bonald but also of the positivist founding of Sociology, the basis for reactionary thought today is both discovered as heterodox theology and critiqued as such.
