Showing results for "On Politics" in Spirituality

Remarkably relevant, beautifully written, and filled with wit and wisdom, these three essays by Bertrand Russell allow the listener to test the concepts of the good life, morality, the existence of God, Christianity, and human nature. "What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship", perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will.

After years of laboring on a treatise that laid the groundwork for his mechanistic philosophy and physics, Descartes found himself compelled to set the project aside when his contemporary, Galileo, faced charges of heresy. This unfinished work, titled The World, was ultimately published only after Descartes’ passing. It appears that this turbulent context influenced Descartes as he penned his more renowned philosophical writings.

In the wake of the heresy propagated by Arius, which diminished the dignity of the Holy Ghost alongside that of the Son, St. Basil was compelled to clarify the true nature of the Holy Spirit. Arius claimed that the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity were fundamentally different in essence and glory. While the Nicene Creed provided clarity regarding the Son, it left the doctrine of the Holy Spirit somewhat ambiguous—not due to uncertainty, but because this aspect of Arian thought was less pronounced. In 374, Amphilochius, a close relative and spiritual confidant of Basil, encouraged him to ...
