In a time when our cultural reality is dominated by the ephemeral and the transient, the transcendent still manages to occasionally break through. When does this happen—and why? How can we modern people actively reach the perennial truth of the transcendent? And are we moderns able to adopt explicitly anti-modern attitudes?
In the Reality Check series, Jan C. Bentz explores these and other questions about philosophy, culture, art, and politics in discussions and interviews with some of today’s leading thinkers—all centered around the idea of conserving the real in a time of deconstruction.
In this episode, Jan speaks to Fr. Michael Baggot, LC, about the unholy goals of the transhumanism movement. Fr. Baggot is Professor Aggregato of bioethics at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy.
