Details

This show has been archived. To listen to its successor shows, head to creedalpodcast.com. Vernacular explores what it means to fully embrace our humanity. It's not a philosophy podcast. Nor is it simply a lifestyle podcast. It's a little bit of both, but not really either. It's music reviews and movie previews, sports forecasts and food recipes, philosophizing on the nature of knowledge and prognosticating on the future of science.

<h1>The American Solidarity Party w/Amar Patel</h1> <p>Today on the show I welcome fellow Catholic Amar Patel, who is running for Vice President of the United States on the American Solidarity Party ticket. Amar and I talk about the principles of solidarity, subsidiarity, personalism, and sphere sovereignty, why it's important to have third parties, what "success" looks like for his ticket, finding a way out of our toxic two-party culture, and a platform that upholds the dignity of every human life. </p> <p>For more information on the American Solidarity Party, please visit <a href="https://solidarity-party.org/" rel="nofollow">https://solidarity-party.org/</a>. </p> <p>We'd love to hear what you think of this episode! </p> <p>Reach out to us: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="nofollow">Email</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vernacularpod" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.twitter.com/vernacularpod" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.patreon.com/vpn" rel="nofollow">Patreon</a></p>

E141 The False Promise of Safetyism w/Maria Berggren
<h1>The False Promise of Safetyism w/Maria Berggren</h1> <p>Today on the show Sally's sister Maria joins us to talk us about a recent article (see below) from philosopher-mechanic Matthew Crawford that critiques the prevailing bureaucratic attitude towards COVID as one of safety<em>ism</em> rather than safety. Crawford thinks that safety isn't the highest good, which obviously raises the question: what is? </p> <p>Crawford's Article: <a href="https://unherd.com/2020/05/the-hypocrisy-of-safetyism/" rel="nofollow">https://unherd.com/2020/05/the-hypocrisy-of-safetyism/</a></p> <p>We'd love to hear what you think of this episode! </p> <p>Reach out to us: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="nofollow">Email</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vernacularpod" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.twitter.com/vernacularpod" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.patreon.com/vpn" rel="nofollow">Patreon</a></p>
