Episode description

We speak about his circuitous path to studying philosophy and theology, maintaining virtue when you’re not allowed to define it, technology as an almost magical confirmation of the victory of reason, the importance of status in spreading ideas, and much more. Dr. James Orr is an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge. He holds a PhD and MPhil in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Classics from Balliol College, Oxford. He is also the UK Chairman of The Edmund Burke Foundation, a public affairs institute that aims to strengthen the principles of national conservatism in Western and other democratic countries.
