Parallax Sangha #4: Alexander Bard - The religion that is finally a religion

Alexander Bard talks to Andrew Sweeny and Owen Cox about anthropology, philosophy and religion. The conversation begins exploring Bard's theories of socio-sexual archetypes and how they relate to social structure, spirituality and religion. It then explores the legacy of various religious traditions and their relevance today, the meaning of tantra and "barred absolute", Bard's ideas on empire and technology, and the prospects of building a 21st-century global religion.
