How to Inhabit Time with James K.A. Smith
We speak with philosopher James (Jamie) K.A. Smith about his new book How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now. It's a contemplative exploration of what it means to be a temporal creature, a being constituted by a past and oriented toward a future. If that sounds heady, it's honestly one of the most spiritual and restful books we've featured on the show, and it's also philosophically informed and beautifully written. Jamie also loves music, and certain songs are featured prominently in the book, and there's a Spotify playlist that accompanies it which you can find here. The books, articles, songs, and films mentioned in the conversation are:
- Gilead - Marilynne Robinson
- Image Journal
- The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky
- Letter from Birmingham Jail - Martin Luther King, Jr.
- The Maternal Eye of Sally Mann - Sarah Boxer
- Every Time I Hear That Song - Brandi Carlile
