- Describing herself as an atheist who defends religion, academic and author, Camille Paglia, argues that an understanding of world religions and their symbols is essential to fully understanding human civilization and our place in the universe. Nov 07, 2009
I NEED her to have a daily commentary show. It should be 3 hours long, but I will take what I get.
Michael RinoRemover she should be on the view or something.

She would never.....
instablaster...
@@emmanuelfrancisco9307 she's too intelligent; the plebs want to see and hear other plebs reciting soundbites
you need not her. you only need the the best of yourself, which is plenty
Where has she been all my life? Whatever compelled her to get back on the public stage, I'm grateful to it!
She had been drowned out by noise for way too long - so glad she never gave up.
Cultural Marxism compelled Truth Tellers to come out.
I love you Camille Paglia !!! Your the most important intellectual alive today
I'm not an atheist but I love this woman's ideas and her courage to stay with them. Brava!
This is big. The message here is Big. We're so vulnerable. The kids are totally vulnerable. It's going to be a seriously dangerous next 30 years. I'll be dead, but you younger people had better look out.
So unfortunately correct
A truly enlightened approach to religion. Core study of comparative religions, as per the 1960s. Now, the Western, Judeo-Christian perspective reigns supreme, causing massive intolerance and bigotry.
Once you’ve read Sexual Personae you’ll realize that as brilliant as she is in person, it does not begin to touch her erudition as an author. Ten times more impressive if you can believe it.
She's so wordly and charming.
Those are big ideas:
Comparative Religion being part of Core Curriculum.
Art as a potential bulwark against the fall of Western Civilizations.
Whether one is a believer or not, religion IS part of the human experience.
Now, that Western Civilization is slowly declining, we need for all religions to come together to help us rebuild our families and communities. Camille correctly understands the fall of Academia, replaced by a destructive element aimed at destroying history and the classics.
The first part of what you said: This is not what she meant!
Go back and listen again.
Comparative Studies is the diversity that we need.
Great presentation, fabulous insights, contagious enthousiasm... she is 99% right.
So refreshing to see an atheist who defends religion. As an agnostic I believe in her thought process. We need more people like her to acknowledge the power of Christianity in the West the past 150 years. If we don't teach this to the next generation we may lose the value of Christian values in America. BTW the same values that most atheists take for granted in today's society.
She's always considered herself atheist but I've seen her acknowledge a belief in mysticism numerous times. She is not, as so many atheists are, spiritually void. She has a strong spiritual side, a deep reverence for the mysteries of the universe. Anybody familiar with her work would know that.
The better Christian values have led the way to freer democracy greater science, discoveries in medicine....Christs words should be our path...
I wish she would upload her art lectures on youtube like jordan peterson.
This is absolutely brilliant!
God she has a brilliant mind. Love Paglia! What a magnificent mind!
Paglia is such a genius. Her take on religion as inseparable from society-culture-art is dead on. Great thinker and possibly one of the Last of the Mohican's left standing. Or more to the point, Cassandra in the midst of a burning Troy...
so true
I honestly hope she won’t be a Cassandra.
@@oekmama Hope so too.
I had a similar experience. I remember when I was very young and an Easter program was on TV. The part that caught my attention was the Roman soldiers marching. I asked my mother who they were and she answered, "Romans." I knew then I was with them!
I absolutely love this woman.
I’m an Evangelical Christian, and I would be delighted to have my children learn about Hinduism and Buddhism in school. Of course I also live in Canada.
Ah, you're Canadian. That explains it. Where I live in the South (THAT South, yes), Evangelicals wouldn't say that even where no one could hear them. They carry in their brains the seed of a wicked and particularly virulent form of ignorance and tribalism that stinks up the whole country.
31:37,38 her sounds and facial expressions making me laugh.That would be great on a loop.Love Camille.
she speaks so amazing. Moving and funny and interesting.
I enjoyed that very much at 0.75 speed.
I decided to go back and study 3 years ago, so I am a 46 year old among twens!
Horrific!
I can't even describe how uninterested and ignorant they are.
No comparison to my time in my twenties
Camille is an inspira🎉tion! A brilliant, emotional truth-teller. When did she first call out the marxist/deconstructionist war on Western culture? Did she frame her battle against second generation feminists in that light?

I was doing my masters at the university of cape town, they were teaching african "traditional" "religion" of whatever that was as an element of evil and darkness. mind you the lecturer was black nigerian. i wrote a short paper contrasting and comparing the world's perception of the idea of Beyoncé and God, they identified me as someone who needed to be removed. eventually through various malicious acts, i dropped the caused. went to law school, it was worse, so worse. i had to leave university in it's totality. at first i couldn't wait for the self destruction of institutions, however, i realised that it's taking those who care and those who had invested in a career down with them. those that "seem" like are surviving, are kept alive by prescription meds and have rid themselves of feelings and human emotions. and i am left with hundreds of thousands of student debt because deep within my heart ive always known that there is freedom, and they want to destroy that. but they cant, it was placed there by God Himself, like He has placed a part of Himself in each human being.
the Exodus account runs parallel to the odyssey from Homer as Bloom points out .
Yes we are small in nature’s plan, but we are nature. I think she greatly underestimates the extent of environmental damage. Of course nature will survive us but will we survive it?
I think her comment on how it's happened for "thousands of years" and that "civilizations were washed away and people moved to mountains" was kind of a fatalist acceptance of that.
That acceptance being "probably not"
“i believe in all Gods” If there is ever a principle of belief that can lead to world peace, this is it.
That's NOT what Camille said. Her opening line was that she was an atheist, clarifying that she does not believe in any or all gods. What she DOES say is that she supports any religion, all religions.
15:00 Preach!!
About telling a Bible story to show sex part the same thing was done during the Renaissance with nudity in paintings and sculptures too. Right? They do that until the get rid of the Biblical part just display nudity straight in the early Avant Garde art starting with “The Luncheon on the Grass” by Edouard Manet which marks the beginning of modern art.
Unfortunate microphone placement!
Brava!
I'd like to see a conversation between Camille Paglia and Judy Tenuta. And maybe throw Donna Tartt in for good measure.
She should read and she most likely has Julius Evola. He considered himself a Roman pagan or a Catholic pagan. He was a traditionalist who studied all world religions and mysticism. Very interesting philosophy.
Sure. If "Racial Philosophy" is your thing.
17:25
We of the 1960's generation did a lot of LSD in our search for God.
A pity that she cannot lift herself out of pagan thinking and the importance of Jesus! Nevertheless I admire her commitment to freedom of speech and quality education.
Art declines because it is the language that the Catholic religion has used for centuries to express its power and without that religion, a new language will appear to express the new current power that is postmodernist
, which is what we have now and what it clearly expresses. is that the irrelevance of that man in art that was previously the center along with the expression of that god
Go to an art gallery and look at a Caravaggio or a Da Vinchi and compare it to the tripe of post modern art.
@@spritualelitist665 I agree that the art of the baroque is better than postmodernism, I only say that it is the expression of a new power and as a new power needed a new form of expression, the Chinese if one day they become the dominant power they will have their artistic form of expression different from modernism
39:25 George C. Scott who plays Abraham was an atheist and functioning alcoholic.
OK!OK!OK!
Terrible video quality detracts from enjoying soaring intellectual ideas
If God is all forgiving will he forgive Satan? Only if Satan truly repents, which he never will.
The mafia came form Christianety...
I like her. But she's off on this topic. She doesn't think NYC flooding is a big deal? She's not a scientist but is a climate change denier. If I wanted to develop wonder and awe about the universe why would I turn to the Bible or some other religious text? How 'bout cutting edge physics?
I love listening her.The reason is that I love passionate people . I love talking myself and it is good to know ,there are people like me somewhere.
Politicians understand the utility of religion. (They invented it.) So long as it is profitable religion will be with us. ($82 Billion a year in the USA alone.)
watching these videos is literally goddess worship.....
Thanks for posting this. 🙏
By the way, you never analyze the reform from the political point of view, it was used for the separation of the European union project of Carlos 5 and it meant the death of thousands of women and the poverty and backwardness of Germany for centuries, the submission of the churches to the interests of the state, among other things
