Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest to returning guest. His name is Stephen DeLay. Last name is spelled D-E-L-A-Y. He was on my show talking about a book about Terrence Malick, and we discussed that. It was life above the clouds. Philosophy in the films of Terrence malick was great to read that it kind of brought

back some of the ideas of the films that i've watched of his but also some of the ones that

i haven't watched them want to watch and it was also very well received by my audience my listeners

but uh we were talking after that show about doing some others and i noticed steve is like a prodigious

author and written many things.

So he sent me a book and if you're watching this on Twitter or Rock, then you'll see the cover is.

And the title is Finding Meaning Essays on Philosophy, Nialism, and the Death of God.

And it's really interesting and timely book.

I think it's important for people to understand kind of the cultural situation

were in and that it didn't kind of appear out of nowhere.

Kind of goes back through the centuries, actually.

But more recently, it was definitely the late 19th and 20th century.

But he's also written Elijah Newman died today everything

faint not in the spirit before God and phenomenology in France but and this one I think there were

essays on this subject in a online journal called 316 AM.

So I can put a link to that.

People can check that out.

But Stephen at DeLay, welcome back to the show.

Hey, William.

How are you?

Thanks for having you.

I'm good.
