Psychedelic Drugs and Atheism
Two recent surveys of people who took psychedelic drugs and reported "God experience encounters", along with successful clinical trials using psychedelic therapy for depression, have given rise to public misconceptions about psychedelics and atheism. Specifically, three inferences have been drawn: (1) that the psychedelic experience tends to dissolve atheist convictions; (2) that atheist convictions, once dissolved, are replaced with traditional …
You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
The strangest appropriation of the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” came in 2016, when Donald Trump adopted it as his campaign anthem. Before offering some suggestions about Trump’s use of the song, this essay explores the complexity of its keywords – “want” and “need” – from a variety of interpretive perspectives, including literature, philosophy, economics, sociology, cognitive science, and a makeshift database of song lyric…
Something Old, Something New
This book explores a significant if underappreciated relationship between religious and secular interests. In entanglement, secularity competes with religion, but neither side achieves simple dominance by displacing the other. As secular ideas and practices entangle with their religious counterparts, they interact and alter each other in a contentious but oddly intimate relationship. Each chapter focuses on a topic of contemporary relevance that …

Unlike these other four models, in which religion and secularity sit apart from each other as separate domains, entanglement presents a contentious but oddly intimate relationship. Neither side simply wins by displacing the other. Two examples flesh out this definition of entangled reli…
Limbo, Pluto, Soprano
Keats defines his paradoxical virtue of "Negative Capability" as a willingness to remain in doubt. Three recent interpretive controversies offer test cases: debates about Limbo, Pluto, and the finale of The Sopranos . In all three cases, traditional authority engages with some version of vox populi that both threatens and enriches the production of knowledge
Three Approaches to Locke and the Slave Trade
Every modern scholar who takes him seriously has had to confront an embarrassing fact: John Locke, preeminent theorist of natural liberties, and an influential resource for abolitionist thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, actually participated in the slave trade. Interpreters of Locke have responded to this embarrassment in three different ways. A first group treats it as an unfortunate but minor lapse in the public conduct of a …
