And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:5, King James Version This is Part Four of a multipart series on the Great Books of the Western Tradition by Berkeley Professor of Philosophy Bert Dreyfus, which you can begin here. The source material is found here on Internet Archive. Who is God? What does it mean to be anointed (chrīstós, in Koine Greek), emptied of self ( kénōsis ), or resurrected? What is the world, seen through the eyes of love? How does philosophy encounter Christianity? In this two-lecture episode, Dreyfus takes these concepts apart and analyzes them in the terms of Heidegger, literary theory, and the hermeneutic approaches of different Continental thinkers.
