• Duncan Reyburn - Desire And Violence In Modern Society

  In this conversation, I and Duncan Reyburn explore various philosophical themes, focusing on the works of G.K. Chesterton and Rene Girard. We discuss the implications of mimetic desire, the role of media in shaping knowledge, and the importance of identity and commitment in society. The conversation also touches on the relevance of Christianity and Orthodoxy in addressing contemporary issues, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of self and community.Sign Up To My Newsletter: https://www.undercurrents.co.za/
