this blog develops the idea that a theory of man in history can be worked out around the theme that man's self expression in culture and society is motivated by the desire to find meaning in man's existence. i proceed by summarizing seminal works that provide insights into the dynamics of this process, with the view that the culmination of this exploration was reached with god's self revelation in jesus. i'll hopefully also explore the developments that followed this event.

Ressentiment
Stephen Hicks - Postmodern Resentment:
I'm not fully on board with Hicks--I'm no admirer of the Enlightenment, which is the wellspring of Liberalism--but he makes some good points.

This video with the music underlying the narration really touched me.
ReplyDeleteAny of these people who are hurting, self-loathing, angry, etc., can turn to God and enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ. I say that with compassion and not judgement.
I pray that these angry people will turn to Him and be healed with a love beyond all telling. I am so thankful for the wonderful gift of faith that my parents introduced to me. The great thing about faith is that it can be shared with others and I don't lose what I gave away. I get more.
Hicks has written a highly regarded book on Postmodernism--though I've not read it, FWIW.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it, but it costs too much.
