On a new episode of ID the Future podcast, Casey Luskin interviews Discovery Institute Center for Science & Culture Fellow Nancy Pearcey. Discussing her new book, Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes, Pearcey describes the influential spiritualized view of evolution, tracing it back to Hegel’s “soul of the world.” This idea gave birth to the postmodern view of the individual as a product of social forces. This podcast interview was based upon the book excerpt she published at Hegel’s Deity: How Evolution Gave Us Postmodernism, Deconstructionism, and Political Correctness.
