Flight from Finitude | Part Two
In this episode, we continue where we left off in the last episode. This is part two of Flight from Finitude, so make sure you check that episode before listening in on this one. In wrapping up the discussion that moved from Christopher Lasch, to ideas by British sociologist, Geoffrey Gorer in his provocative article, titled, "The Pornography of Death."
Finally, we explore some practical, theological and philosophical tips on how we might go about redressing or addressing the problem of aversion towards our limited-ness, finitude, ageing and ultimately towards death.
Resources:
Christopher Lasch's "The Culture of Narcissism" (1979), Geoffrey Gorer's "The Pornography of Death" (1955), Abigail Rian Evans' "Is God still at the Bedside?" and William F. May's "Sacral Power of Death."
"PSYCHOANALYSIS CONFIRMS THE ANCIENT RELIGIOUS INSIGHT THAT THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE HAPPINESS IS TO ACCEPT LIMITATIONS IN A SPIRIT OF GRATITUDE AND CONTRITION INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO ANNUL THOSE LIMITATIONS OR BITTER RESENTING THEM." Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism (1979)
