In this episode we begin Chapter 4, Modern Social Imaginaries. We take a look at the transformation of Natural Law from a theory of the philosophical elite to a functional structure that carries western civilisation from a pre-modern to a modern social imaginary.
As Natural Law created space for secular moral discussion, we propose a few tools that can be useful for us in this space today.
i) plant seeds not trees
ii) keep the door open with love
iii) appeal to the senses
Reflection:
-Where am I being called to witness to the morality that transcends reason? What is the wisdom of God in this space? What do I need to ask for to be faithful in this witness?
