Hi all,

[Update October 2025: The recording of this session is now available here: Brendan Graham Dempsey - by Jonah Wilberg]

This Friday in the Research Tent (at 5pm CET), I hope you’ll join me in welcoming Brendan Graham Dempsey, who will talk to us about his work on faith development, with a title of: “Measuring Worldviews: Putting Integral Altitudes to the Test”.

Brendan is a well-known figure in the Second Renaissance ecosystem, and especially known for his conception of Metamodern spirituality. He is the author of a book on Metamodernism, editor of the Metamodern Spirituality series, and has appeared on numerous podcasts and videos with Jim Rutt, John Vervaeke and others.

As usual the talk will be approximately half an hour with another half hour for discussion. Everyone welcome!

Want more Brendan Graham Dempsey? Here are Brendan’s upcoming projects. (Reposted from various social media).

"Big things ahead!

But first: You made it through GOSPEL, did you? What’d you think? Did you “get” it? Was there an “it” to “get”? Well, sure was long, at least; lost some subscribers along the way. Oh well. In the words of Hamlet, “something too much of this.” On to new things, new works, new material!

The big news is that my next book, the next installment of the Evolution of Meaning series, will be out in September!

That’s right, Volume 2. Psyche and Symbolic Learning is coming to a soulless online distributor near you! And, as befits any good Volume 2 worth its salt, this work picks up where Volume 1 left off, zooming in to the level of meaning-making’s complexification on the Culture plane. (Well, on the individual level, anyway; Volume 3 will explore the process at the collective level.)

But wait; there’s s’more.

In lead-up to the book launch, I’ll be releasing not one but two video series!

The first I’m calling Healing from the Meaning Crisis, which is a sort of sequence of interview vignettes in which I unpack some major themes in my work and the metamodern space more broadly around issues of reframing meaning and value in the face of the metacrisis. Many thanks to Shane Hanlon and Your Local Planet for producing.

This will then tee up the second video series, which is nothing less than a full “videobook” version of Volume 1. A Universal Learning Process. Narrated by Layman Pascal, and given premier visualizations and editing by Sampy Sicada, this series will get you caught up on Volume 1 in time for Volume 2 in September.

It’s a double-feature of meaningful proportions.

Starts next week.

Enjoy!"
