A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Radio free Stanley

Jonathan Norman at the blog The Phaith of St. Phransus posted a series of links to a very good radio interview with Stanley Hauerwas, focusing mainly on pacifism/non-violence as a normative stance for Christians.

As always with Hauerwas, I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says, and disagreeing some. In particular think he caricatures liberal ideas of political freedom as “choosing between two brands of stereo at Circuit City” (I paraphrase), but a good discussion overall.
