A Universal History: History through the Symbolic Lens | with Richard Rohlin
I interview Richard Rohlin, philologist and co-host of the Amon Sûl podcast. We talk about the “universal history“ - ancient people understood themselves to part of fundamentally the same world approachable through different identities and particularities in time. The modern world has lost this natural coherence and instead sees identity and narrative as tyrannical and/or arbitrary. Richard and I talk about hagiography, the Middle Ages as our cultural backdrop, syncretism and how we can rediscover a shared and coherent narrative by understanding historical events symbolically.
