ne u nekog moćnika

Danas želim da govorim

Let me start with the what.

Počeću od „šta“.
01:48
I define civic religion as a system

I'm not referring to papers or passports.

Govoriti o građanskoj religiji
kao religiji nije poetska sloboda,

It is at once a gamble and a miracle.

It is about a group of unlike people

Perhaps now you're getting
a little worried

Možda sad počinjete da malo brinete
da pokušavam da vas uvedem u kult.
03:43

65

Relax, I'm not.

We are wired to seek
cosmological explanations,

70
223735

U prirodi nam je da tražimo

04:07
The only choice we have is whether
to activate that groupness for good.

73
235262
3774
Jedini izbor koji imamo
je da li da aktiviramo
tu grupnost zarad dobra.

04:12
If you are a devout person, you know this.
74
240204
3066
Ako ste pobožna osoba, to znate.
04:15
If you are not,

Ako niste,

ako više ne idete na molitvene obrede
04:18
or never did,
77
246816
1664
ili nikada niste ni išli,
04:20
then perhaps you'll say
that yoga is your religion,

78
248504
3775
možda ćete u tom slučaju reći
da je joga vaša religija,

But whether you believe in a God

Ali bilo da verujete u boga

04:35
civic religion does not require you
to renounce your beliefs.

04:39
It requires you only
to show up as a citizen.

Samo zahteva da se pojavite kao građanin.
04:43
And that brings me to my second topic:

A to me navodi na moju drugu temu:

how we can practice
civic religion productively.

(Smeh)
08:02
Sometimes I'm asked,
even by our seminarians:
even by our seminarians:
146
470615
2391
Ponekad me pitaju čak i naši bogoslovi:
08:05
"Isn't it dangerous
to use religious language?
to use religious language?
147
473030
2924
„Zar nije opasno koristiti
religijski jezik?

08:07
Won't that just make our politics
even more dogmatic and self-righteous?"
even more dogmatic and self-righteous?"
148
475978
4380
Zar to neće samo učiniti našu politiku
još više dogmatskom i nadobudnom?“
još više dogmatskom i nadobudnom?“
08:12
But this view assumes that all religion
is fanatical fundamentalism.
is fanatical fundamentalism.
149
480382
3896
Ali ovo gledište pretpostavlja
da je svaka religija
fanatični fundamentalizam.
fanatični fundamentalizam.
08:16
It is not.
150
484990
1150
A nije.
08:18
Religion is also moral discernment,
151
486767
3834
Religija je takođe moralno rasuđivanje,
08:22
an embrace of doubt,
152
490625
1932
prihvatanje sumnje,
08:24
a commitment to detach from self
and serve others,
and serve others,
153
492581
3513
obavezivanje da se odvojimo od sebe
i služimo drugima,
i služimo drugima,
08:28
a challenge to repair the world.
154
496118
2165
izazov da se popravi svet.
08:31
In this sense, politics could stand
to be a little more like religion,
to be a little more like religion,
155
499057
4301
U tom smislu, politika bi mogla da podnese
da bude malo više kao religija,
da bude malo više kao religija,
08:35
not less.
156
503382
1175
a ne manje.
08:37
Thus, my final topic today:
157
505747
2549
Stoga je moja poslednja tema danas
08:40
why civic religion matters now.
158
508320
2039
zašto je građanska religija danas važna.
08:43
I want to offer two reasons.
159
511544
1925
Hteo bih da iznesem dva razloga.
08:45
One is to counter the culture
of hyperindividualism.
of hyperindividualism.
160
513493
3517
Jedan je suprotstavljanje
kulturi hiperindividualizma.

Every message we get
from every screen and surface
from every screen and surface
161
518193
3183
Svaka poruka koju dobijemo
sa svakog ekrana i površine
sa svakog ekrana i površine
08:53
of the modern marketplace
162
521400
1838
savremenog tržišta
08:55
is that each of us is on our own,
163
523262
1781
je da je svako od nas sam na svome,
08:57
a free agent,
164
525067
1554
slobodni činilac,
08:58
free to manage our own brands,
165
526645
2240
slobodan da upravlja vlastitim brendovima,
09:00
free to live under bridges,
166
528909
1325
slobodan da živi pod mostom,
09:02
free to have side hustles,
167
530941
1996
slobodan da ima poslove sa strane,
09:04
free to die alone without insurance.
168
532961
2035
slobodan da umre sam bez osiguranja.
Tržišni liberalizam nam kaže
09:08
Market liberalism tells us
we are masters beholden to none,
we are masters beholden to none,
169
536027
3978
da smo gospodari
koji nikome ništa ne duguju,
koji nikome ništa ne duguju,
09:12
but then it enslaves us
170
540029
3110
ali nas zatim porobljava
09:15
in the awful isolation
of consumerism and status anxiety.
of consumerism and status anxiety.
171
543163
3524
u groznoj izolaciji konzumerizma
i statusne anksioznosti.
i statusne anksioznosti.
09:19
(Audience) Yeah!
172
547005
1182
(Publika) Tako je!
09:20
Millions of us are on to the con now.
173
548211
3010
Milioni nas su shvatili tu prevaru.
09:23
We are realizing now
174
551245
2979
Sada shvatamo
09:26
that a free-for-all is not the same
as freedom for all.
as freedom for all.
175
554248
3505
da „slobodno za sve“
nije isto što i sloboda za sve.
nije isto što i sloboda za sve.
09:29
(Applause)
176
557777
5870
(Aplauz)
09:35
What truly makes us free
is being bound to others
is being bound to others
177
563671
2737
Ono što nas zaista oslobađa
je vezanost za druge
je vezanost za druge
09:38
in mutual aid and obligation,
178
566432
2084
u uzajamnoj pomoći i obavezi,
09:40
having to work things out the best we can
in our neighborhoods and towns,
in our neighborhoods and towns,
179
568540
4377
to što moramo da radimo što bolje možemo
u svojim naseljima i gradovima,
u svojim naseljima i gradovima,
09:44
as if our fates were entwined --
180
572941
2095
kao da su naše sudbine
međusobno povezane -
međusobno povezane -
09:47
because they are --
181
575060
1386
jer i jesu -
09:48
as if we could not secede
from one another,
from one another,
182
576470
2573
kao da ne možemo da se otcepimo
jedni od drugih,
jedni od drugih,
09:51
because, in the end, we cannot.
183
579067
1921
jer, na kraju krajeva, i ne možemo.
09:53
Binding ourselves this way
actually liberates us.

184
581793
3357
Vezivanje na ovaj način
nas zapravo oslobađa.
nas zapravo oslobađa.

It reveals that we are equal in dignity.

Otkriva da smo jednaki u dostojanstvu.
10:01
It reminds us that rights
come with responsibilities.

186

2926
Podseća nas da uz prava idu i obaveze.
10:05
It reminds us, in fact,

Podseća nas, u stvari,
10:06
that rights properly understood
are responsibilities.

188

da ispravno shvaćena prava
jesu odgovornosti.

10:12
The second reason
why civic religion matters now

189
600130
3112
Drugi razlog zašto je
građanska religija sada važna
građanska religija sada važna
10:15
is that it offers the healthiest
possible story of us and them.

je taj što nudi najzdraviju
moguću priču o nama i njima.

We talk about identity politics today
as if it were something new,

Govorimo o politici identiteta
kao da je nešto novo,
kao da je nešto novo,
10:26
but it's not.
192
614885
2129
ali nije.
10:29
All politics is identity politics,
193
617038
2105
Svaka politika je politika identiteta,
10:31
a never-ending struggle
to define who truly belongs.

194
619167
3458
beskrajna borba da se definiše
ko zaista pripada.

10:35
Instead of noxious myths of blood and soil
that mark some as forever outsiders,

195
623379
5397
Umesto štetnih mitova o krvi i zemlji
koji označavaju pojedine ljude
kao večne strance,
kao večne strance,
10:40
civic religion offers everyone
a path to belonging

196
628800
3745
građanska religija svima nudi
stazu ka pripadanju,

10:44
based only a universal creed
of contribution, participation,

197
632569

10:49
inclusion.
198
637298
1150
10:51
In civic religion, the "us"
is those who wish to serve,

199
639079
4915
U građanskoj religiji,
„mi“ smo oni koji žele da služe,

prenose moć na druge
umesto da je gomilaju.
umesto da je gomilaju.
11:02
The "them" is those who don't.
202
650788
2150
„Oni“ su ljudi koji to ne žele.
11:06
It is possible to judge the them harshly,
203
654250
3150
Može se o njima oštro suditi,
11:09
but it isn't necessary,
204
657424
1952
ali to nije potrebno,
11:11
for at any time, one of them
can become one of us,
can become one of us,
205
659400
4549
jer u bilo kom trenutku
neko od njih može postati jedan od nas,
neko od njih može postati jedan od nas,
11:15
simply by choosing to live like a citizen.

Možda sada mislite da je sve ovo

Now you might think

But actually, it is for anyone, anywhere,
