Never Mistake Cynicism For Wisdom (Guiding Axiom 3/7)

Rahul Sam | Never Mistake Cynicism For Wisdom (Guiding Axiom 3/7) | IR #12 @RahulSam | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
“But the new rebel is a Sceptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. [...] By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.” ― G. K. Chesterton

Dr Qureshi-Hurst completed a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Oxford in Science and Religion (2021). Her thesis examined the theoretical support for a B-theory of time provided by special and general relativity, and re-interpreted Paul Tillichs doctrine of salvation in light of this metaphysical temporal model. In 2022, Cambridge University Press published her first book exploring these themes: God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime. Her second book on this topic, Salvation in the Block Universe: Time, Tillich, and Transformation, will be published in the second half of 2024. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between modern physics and religion, theories of time and the theology of Paul Tillich. You can find more of Dr Qureshi-Hursts work at https://www.emilyqureshihurst.com/ and https://x.com/equreshihurst.
