About This Event

Philosopher Mark Vernon joins 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Hetta Howes to discuss the healing power and significance of ecstatic states. Such seeking of loss of control is often written off in western culture as ignorant or delusional. But might it provide connection and meaning for those who, in a post-modern culture, do not have religion as a central part of their lives?

Edited version broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 3 during tonight's interval.
