“Lurking behind every chance to be made whole by fame is the ax man of further dismembering.” – Leo Braudy from the Frenzy of Renown

In the fourth part of the Famished Craving series Gil Bailie looks at the relationship between the modern world’s infatuations with fame and the famous and nihilism. The consequences for the person are explored through reference to Virginia Woolf’s novel the Waves andto articles in periodicals current in 1995 when this presentation was recorded (links to these articles and books, where available, are included below).

Returning to the theme of ontological density as it relates to the Christian theological understanding of hypostasis – the essence and underlying reality of the Trinity Gil Bailie concludes, “The hypostatic subjectivity comes by its ontological density honestly…it is received as a gift.”
