Show Notes

My guest today is Dr Simon Kennedy an Australian academic specialising in the history of legal, political and religious ideas.

He was a Visiting Fellow at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest in early 2023, and is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Danube Institute, also in Budapest. His first book was published with Edinburgh University Press in 2022, and is entitled Reforming the Law of Nature: The secularisation of political thought, 1532-1689. His second book is on education, entitled Against Worldview, and published with Lexham Press.

Today we discuss:

- His recent paper entitled "Young Men in Crisis: What Can Australia Do?"

- The nature of this crisis, what its underlying causes are, and the extend to which the challenges facing young men are new and unprecedented

- The related issue of the feminisation of our institutions including the churches and the impact this is having on our politics and society, and

- What can be done about it.

And much much more.
