In this episode of the Doctor John Patrick podcast, Dr. Patrick explores the decline in deep intellectual engagement and genuine passion within faith. He discusses how Western traditions, rooted in Judeo-Christian values and Greek philosophy, have shaped societal norms and contributed to global progress. Highlighting insights from Michael Polanyi, Dr. Patrick emphasizes the importance of transcendent ideals like truth, justice, and charity, and critiques modern trends such as virtue signaling and the rejection of absolute truths. Join Dr. Patrick in this thoughtful discussion on reconnecting with our deep-rooted traditions to effectively navigate contemporary challenges.
