It's Patron Sunday @ Apocatastasis! Why? Because today, Christmas Eve, is the feast day of Adam and Eve. They are two of the four patron saints of the Institute. Largely forgotten in our day and age, Ss. Adam and Eve (1) are indeed are canonized saints, and (2) were a vital part of the Medieval Christmas liturgical cycle. Our first parents are indeed fitting intercessors for "An Institute For The Humanities." Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/esr-9_-5

This lecture focuses on the three fundamental forms of human freedom: the freedom to move away, the freedom to disobey, and the freedom to imagine and enact alternative forms of social existence. These freedoms, once accessible to various societies throughout human history, have largely been erased in today's world due to the last half a millennium of land enclosures, mass enslavement, plunder, wars, and the rise of capitalism. This presentation aims to revisit and reinterpret these freedoms in the context of human history, drawing on a broad range of empirical and historical evidence.#history #historymatters #capitalism #enclosure #slavery #wars, #societalimpacts #freedomWATCH: https://lnkd.in/gHMUNq94
