Listen "Interview with Dr. Francis X. Clooney SJ on deep reading the Hindu and Christian classics"
Episode Synopsis
Join me today for an conversation with Dr. Francis X. Clooney SJ from Harvard Divinity School on his recent book Reading the Hindu and Christian Classics: Why and How Deep Learning Still Matters (University of Virginia Press, 2019). Dr. Clooney is a long-time, life-long learner and pioneer of comparative theology. Learn with me as we discuss the intersection of Wittgenstein and the ancient Indian Purva Mimamsa hermeneutical tradition of ritual reasoning, as well as why it is so unavoidably important to read slowly and carefully in an ever more frantic and frenetic world.
