Episode 4 - What do we believe in?

In this episode we attempt answering the two important questions: What did a Christian European man believe in before the new ethics came into play? And What does a man of the hybrid postmodern and neoliberal society believe in? We examine a number of ethical substitutions making the contemporary man to live in the state of inner contradiction.

Mad Times - Episode 3: Diagnosis

“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us.’ ” ― St. Anthony the Great In this episode, we provide an ethical diagnosis for the so-called “Western man” who formerly was Christian and who now lives according to the “new ethics“ combining postmodernistic worldview and the neoliberal economoc base. We address a number of important questions. What does the distortion in the perception of human person mean? The human person as “socially produced and economically evaluated image” instead of the human person as the “image of God”. How did this distortion happen historically? Are there ways to heal this ethical wound? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit madtimespodcast.substack.com
