#138: Red Enlightenment - Socialism, Science & Spirituality (ft. Graham Jones)
Manage episode 364190087 series 2661646
"A manifesto for belonging"
We chat with author and activist Graham Jones about the significance of religion & spirituality to any successful socialist movement... 'Socialism is necessary but not sufficient'.
We discuss the idea of why humans tend towards religion, the popularity of the 'meaning of life' question, ontological security, rationalizing someone out of their beliefs, metaphysics, how some religions have abandoned any criticism of capitalism and why critique is necessary but you always need a replacement idea/belief/concept.
We also cover the tension between constraint & freedom, the inspiring notion of 'Not Yet' and 'Potentials', ideas vs actions and skinny jeans!
