Host James O'Dea, talks with Sam Keen, about our cultural fascination with the myth of redemptive violence.

Contrary to our usual opinion, far from hating violence, we as a culture, are involved in a perverse love affair with political, personal and symbolic forms of violence because they satisfy certain essential human needs. In short, our mythology of violence is a pseudo-religion that provides us with a dramatic view of life, a world that is understandable and the (illusory) possibility of eliminating evil.

If we can determine the essential human needs that are unconsciously satisfied by violence and warfare, we can begin to see what elements that are necessary to create a society that is dedicated to waging a moral struggle against forces that threaten the common good.
