@SelecaoTalk It’s not the ‘positional game’ per se, it’s Tuchel’s interpretation of positional football and his failure to get the best out of the talents of his squad. Some of the most beautiful and creative teams in history have played under positional principles.

“Niebuhr, with his Augustinian emphasis on human sinfulness, would in some ways have fitted Moyn’s frame better than any of the book’s protagonists, although he didn’t always think of himself as a liberal” Or was RN a self-conscious internal critic of the liberalism of fear?

@huspsa @MazMHussain The Premier League was simply a rebranding of the old English First Division which was set up in the late 1880s. Media moguls like us to believe English football was invented in 1992… to better market their product. So actually the reverse of Murtaza’s dictum applies.

I think the final 20 pages of the Children of Light and Children of Darkness, combined with his critique of George Kennan’s ‘American Diplomacy’ in The Irony provide us with an entirely new platform to reinterpret RN…

“For Weber, too, nihilism lies in the gaps between knowledge, politics, and religion opened up in modernity, but it is more than the mere depletion of values through rationalization, secularization, and disenchantment.”

A Weber for Our Times?

For Max Weber, freedom is a practice, a mode of self-realization that has its wellspring not in the calculating ego but in the soul.

@bfcarlson The key word here is ‘Jewish’ perspective. Niebuhr in the 1950s drew heavily from the work of Martin Buber and Abraham Heschel as an antidote to what he perceived as the ‘Hellenisation of Christianity’. His point was that we have to accept and embrace existential mystery.

The interpretative key to Niebuhr is not his engagement with the ‘timeless’ wisdom of the Old Testament prophets, Augustine or Edmund Burke… it is his reading of Heschel and his interlocutors. The ideas Heschel introduced to him constitutes the lens by which N reads the ‘canon’
