THE SOUL OF THE EAST (Dr. Matthew Raphael)

   

Meta Visions

 

Published on Jul 27, 2020

With the increasing decline of Christianity across the west visible among the majority of denominations, can Eastern Orthodox Christianity halt the Spiritual decline and bring a cultural renaissance and institutional reaffirmation in the west?

Dr.Matthew Raphael, Alexander von Marstall and Lukas Eidolon will be discussing this subject from a metapolitical perspective and try to relate it to the recent surge of Nationalist and Right Populist movements in Europe and the United States.

Matthew Raphael Johnson is a scholar of Russian Orthodox history and philosophy.

He completed his doctorate at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 1999.

He is a former professor of both history and political science at the University of Nebraska (as a graduate student), Penn State University and Mount St. Mary’s University.

Since 1999, he was the editor (and is presently Senior Researcher) at The Barnes Review, a well-known journal of European history.

Dr Johnson is the author of eight books.

Six are from Hromada Books, "Sobornosti: Essays on the Old Faith;" "Heavenly Serbia and the Medieval Idea;" "Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality: Lectures on Medieval Russia;" "The Ancient Orthodox Tradition in Russian Literature: "The Foreign Policy of Mass Society: The Failure of Western Engagement in the Middle East;" and "Officially Approved Dissent: Alasdair MacIntyre’s Strategic Ambiguity in His Critique of Modernity."

And two published by The Barnes Review, "The Third Rome: Holy Russia, Tsarism and Orthodoxy;" and "Russian Populist: The Political Thought of Vladimir Putin."
