  • Resumen

  • For this special episode of The Analyst & The Fool, we bring you our very first episodes ever recorded. In this episode, we dissect this thing called Christian Van Dyke. He is a PhD student at Claremont Graduate University and, in this episode, we discuss his approach to Mormon Studies, Comparative Religion, and philosophy. Christian tells his background and journey to CGU’s Philosophy and Religious Thought program which has compelled him to be involved in Mormon Studies but made him apprehensive at the same time. He talks about four foundational texts that have motivated his work and his approach to the study of “religion” throughout his academic career. These texts are Brian Birch’s “A Portion of God’s Light: Mormonism and Religious Pluralism,” Donald Davidson’s “On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme,” Eugene England’s “On Becoming a World Religion: Blacks, the Poor– All of Us,” And Peter Winch’s “Understanding a Primitive Religion.” These texts have helped Christian develop an ethic of comparative religion that argues that there is no neutral place from which to talk about “religion” and to always be mindful that comparison may say more about the one doing the comparing than what the things being compared might or might not actually have in common. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theanalystandthefool/support
