Immanentization & Elite Aesthetics - Book Review Part 3

Published: Feb. 5, 2024, 10 a.m.

In Episode 17 of Season 4, Drew & Mick continue their review of James K.A. Smith's How Not to Be Secular by looking at Chapter 2 and the process of how the world went from a belief in the transcendent to buffered "immanentization" - that is, "the process whereby meaning, significance, and 'fullness' are sought within an enclosed, self-sufficient, naturalistic universe without any reference to transcendence - a kind of 'enclosure.'" They also look at how these shifts happen primarily at the level of aesthetics (i.e., taste, imagination) rather than logically.
