[030] Social Science Talks: His Dark Materials, by Philip Pullman


Listen Later

“I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil that were outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are.”

This month, we revisit our childhood memories of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. What is a daemon? How can animals have wheels? Join us as we discuss its criticism of the church, authority, and whether Ms. Coulter is the most interesting character in the series.
