Prof Richard Boothby is a professor of philosophy at Loyola University Maryland who works in psychoanalysis, philosophical psychology, phenomenology, existentialism, and contemporary continental philosophy. He is the author of Death and Desire, Freud as Philosopher, Blown Away and numerous other books. In this episode, we discuss his religious work (as a response to Christian Nationalism and identity politics) along with the book Embracing the Void: Rethinking the Origin of the Sacred, which Todd McGowan has said is the best psychoanalytic take on religion.
