Reciprocally Reconstructive Dialogos Between Neoplatonism and Science with Sevilla King
Manage episode 389014736 series 3536782
Dr. John Vervaeke and Sevilla King delve into intricate topics that cut across philosophy, psychology, and science. The conversation commences with an in-depth exploration of the "meaning crisis" and secular humanism. Sevilla King tackles the limitations of subject-object metaphysics, while Dr. Vervaeke expounds upon nominalism and its implications for understanding the world's patterns. They discuss Neoplatonism as a potential grounding philosophy for a "religion that's not a religion," and contrast it with the complexities of modern thought. As the conversation evolves, they engage in vibrant debates about embodiment, rationality, the potential and pitfalls of scientific inquiry, and the nature of love and truth. Dr. Vervaeke uses illustrative analogies, and Sevilla King emphasizes the role of mindset and the cultural implications of scientific paradigms. Each moment in the discussion serves as an intellectual milestone, pointing toward new conceptual territories and the endless horizon of human understanding.
