As someone who pushed for this to happen, I am glad the Dalai Lama has been recognized for his contributions as “an incomparable global voice for universal ethics, nonviolence, and harmony among world religions.” More details here.

You can hear it live on San Francisco’s Public Radio Station KALW 91.7 FM, or via Public Radio Player on your iPhone or Android, or listen to the free stream of the show beginning Monday at http://PhilosophyTalk.org. More details are here and given below.

February 26 on Philosophy Talk:

Pantheism is the doctrine that the world is either identical with God or an expression of His nature. Pantheistic ideas appear in many schools of Buddhism and Hinduism, and in the Tao-te-Ching. Pantheism also has had defenders in Western philosophy, including Heraclitus, Spinoza, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. Many of the Romantic poets, like Shelley, Keats, and Wordsworth, were considered pantheists. In modern times, the ecological movement has led to new interest in pantheism and its emphasis on nature as sacred. Is there a consistent world view that all these philosophies have in common? And how should we understand the claim that nature is to be worshipped? John and Ken welcome back Philip Clayton, Dean of Claremont School of Theology and Provost of Claremont Lincoln University, editor of In Whom We Live and Move and Have Our Being: Panentheistic Reflections on God’s Presence in a Scientific World.
