This webinar is hosted by Matthew Jacoby. Combining psychology, philosophy and theology, Matt looks at problems with the contemporary mind and why we are facing unique problems with religious belief in the modern world.
This discussion will focus on the work of Danish Christian philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor (A Secular Age, Sources of the Self) and Psychiatrist and philosopher Iain McGilchrist (The Master and his Emissary, The Matter with Things).
The combination of the perspectives of these key thinkers offers vital insights into a uniquely modern problem which can variously be described as a kind of existential absence, a detached or ‘buffered’ sense of self, and a pathological tendency relate to reality as a ‘closed world system.’ Most importantly this seminar has a very practical pastoral concern. Join us on the 18th of September for this free webinar.
