The Sacred and the Rational: Toward a Unified Moral Vision
Manage episode 494240532 series 3673584
Why You Should Listen
Because we’re all looking for something solid to stand on—and maybe, just maybe, it isn’t one side of the divide but the bridge between them.
This essay is a conversation between two ancient instincts: the longing for something sacred and the determination to face life with clear-eyed reason. It's for the spiritual and the secular alike—those who pray and those who ponder, who kneel before mystery or marvel at a nebula.
You’ll meet Abraham Joshua Heschel and Carl Sagan—two men who never met, but whose lives echo one another in moral clarity, awe, and courage. You’ll find not a debate, but a harmony. Not a sermon, but an invitation. Not certainty, but meaning.
If you’ve ever wondered whether faith and logic can live in the same heart, this is your field guide.
Read it for the flame. Stay for the light.
