48. On Shame
Tuesday, 22 July, 2025
Shame is a powerful and elusive emotion—often unnamed, yet deeply formative. In this episode, Ante and Oliver explore the nature of shame: what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters. They consider whether shame is universal or culturally accentuated, how it emerges early in life, and how it is bound up with our sense of standing and visibility before others. Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and theology, they examine shame as a profoundly social emotion—one that can paralyze, distort, or even erupt into violence. They also discuss how shame differs from guilt, how it shapes identity and behavior, and whether it can be transformed into something redemptive.* * * * * NEW TO THE PODCAST?In this podcast, we engage in free-ranging conversations about life, faith, philosophy, ethics, relationships, culture, experience, and all matters existential.
