S1 E23. Emerging from the Meaning Crisis: The death of Daniel Dennett and rebirth of Jordan Hall
from The Surprising Rebirth Of Belief In God · host Justin Brierley
Do we have free will? Many leading atheist voices say 'no'. Determinism has become a popular philosophy, but has contributed to a meta-crisis and a mental health crisis. Hearing from thinkers such as Alan Noble, Elizabeth Oldfield and Iain McGilchrist, Justin asks whether the passing of influential philosopher Daniel Dennett may herald a new openness to God, as seekers such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Russell Brand emerge from the 'meaning crisis'. Tech pioneer Jordan Hall also tells his story of finding an unexpected answer to his search for a solution to the meta-crisis.
