J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, Subcreation and the Light that Darkness cannot Comprehend
In this concluding lecture, I reflect on the general themes of the course on Science Fiction and Subcreation, but in particular Tolkien's employment of subcreation as a form of the path of virtue an goodness. These characterize both his and C.S. Lewis's fiction, and are to be seen in contrast to the scientism and proud domination of the world that characterizes the efforts of his contemporaries. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member: www.youtube.com/c/DrScottMasson To support my channel and assist me in providing better content, please go here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=FZN9nCjKxWQNUnF_jsASfpjiVyRpj1H_mdGvxmYj9wIO-ZgrxM5vR1V-nTy3kKygP1gh10&fromUL=true&country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US
