43. Мужество быть

Both the courage of participation and the courage to be oneself, which we discussed in previous episodes, help cope with existential anxiety, but they come at a cost. In one case, a person sacrifices their individuality; in the other, they experience isolation. Is a compromise between the two possible? Tillich argues that it is. And this compromise is the courage to be, which unites the courage to be part and the courage to be oneself. How mysticism helps transcend existence (and what "transcending" even means), how a human encounter with God is possible, and how they unite—this is what this podcast episode is about. "The root of the courage to be is the God who appears when God disappears in the anxiety of doubt." (Paul Tillich, "The Courage to Be") As always, you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Yandex.Music, VKontakte, or SoundCloud. Episode page: https://smirik.com/podcast/there-is-n...
