In this episode, we cover the last two chapters of Latter Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle.
In "Hudson Statue" we learn that whatever a person mumbles under their breath at their weekly worship is nothing compared to their practical hero worship. In this, they reveal their true faith and their highest values. We know it to be false when someone claims they are an atheist or not religious because every person has someone they look up to. Everyone has a hero. It follows that society should be judged or understood best by its heroes rather than its proclaimed religion or no-religion.
In "Jesuitism" we learn about Carlyle's beef with Ignatius Loyola and Jesuitism. We also build on the idea of religion's important role in defining thought and reality. Words and actions are a reflection of one's thoughts. Thoughts are a reflection of one's religion. Therefore if we understand the religion of a society we can understand why the people in it do what they do.
