30 - Oblivion and the Knight of Faith

from Mythic Mind Games · host Andrew Snyder

In this lecture, originally made for the Elder Scrolls & Philosophy study, I read The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion alongside Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling.We look at: • Why Oblivion breaks the “chosen one” pattern of Morrowind and Skyrim — and centers Martin Septim instead • True heroism that is not concerned with being seen as heroic • The knight of infinite resignation vs the knight of faith • Sacrifice, Abraham and Isaac, and what it means to enter Oblivion willinglyWatch the video for this episode and subscribe to my YouTube channel here:https://youtu.be/9XUuJ7vLw1EJoin the Mythic Mind Fellowship:https://mythicmindfellowship.comListen to all THREE Mythic Mind podcasts:• Mythic Mind• Mythic Mind Games• Mythic Mind Movies & Shows
