“The idea of analytic neutrality, which was more or less a cliche truth when I was training back in the 1980s, is clearly getting at something very important, which is that we mustn't try to pre-conceive where the patient's development is going to take him or her. But that doesn't mean that the development is not in a direction. Aristotle famously said that the human being is a ‘zoon politikon', a creature who belongs in a somewhat structured society. Healthy development is in that sort of direction as we become more integrated, as our ‘ghosts become more like ancestors', to use that famous metaphor. We become more aware of the reality of other people and their real as opposed to their fantasy importance in the ecosystem of which we are all part. And this makes possible the sort of ethical realization that Levinas was talking about. We recognize the reality of the other. We discover that we are interconnected. We are part of something that is hugely greater than ourselves and that goes beyond our knowing. But of course, that doesn't mean that we are not also selfish and unique selves. It's that we are under pressure, so to speak, from both quarters.” Episode Description: We begin with David's description of Freud's view of religion as offering "compellingly attractive" illusions in the face of the helplessness we face by life's and death's unpredictability. Alternatively, David suggests that religions provide 'objects', ie Gods, that are importantly allegorical and offer an ‘ethical seriousness' over time. We discuss the ability of these allegories to offer possibilities of 'transcendence' in a world that he sees as often limited to the material. He presents Levinas' view of the responsibility we all have when encountering "the face of the other" - a responsibility that is not chosen but "slipped into my consciousness like a thief." We consider the ethical differences between one's superego and one's conscience. We close with David sharing with us the vicissitudes of his early life that, as for us all, form a context for our later interests. Our Guest: David Black studied philosophy and Eastern religions before training in London, first as a pastoral counsellor and later as a psychoanalyst. He is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, now retired, who has written widely on psychoanalysis in relation to matters of ethics and religion. In 2006 he edited Psychoanalysis and Religion in the Twenty-first Century. He has published two collections of his own psychoanalytic papers, most recently Psychoanalysis and Ethics: the Necessity of Perspective. He is also a poet and translator, whose translation of Dante's Purgatorio was published in 2021 in the New York Review of Books Classics series.

Humans have always had the propensity to be irrational. In fact, humans may be as irrational today as they were centuries ago. But with a more educated and technologically advanced society, why does this level of irrational thought and behavior persist? Steven Nadler is a professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. His books like When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People: How Philosophy Can Save Us from Ourselves and Think Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to Die encourage readers to examine their lives through a philosophical lens.He and Greg discuss how social media has contributed to the perpetuity of irrationality in society, why more education doesn't necessarily lead to more rational thought, and why philosophy should be more widely integrated into our education systems. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Exploring Spinoza's determinismNobody can be truly free from external influences because we have to live in the world. But you can liberate yourself insofar as your life is guided by reason and not by passion. Now, for Spinoza, the world is deterministic. Everything happens because of its antecedent causes. And this is as true as much for leaves falling off trees and rocks rolling down hills and for our bodies, which respond to the physical influences of the world. But it's also completely true with respect to the human mind. Our mental states, our thoughts, our beliefs, our desires also exist within a deterministic system.Where do irrational beliefs come from?02:46: I don't think that human beings are necessarily more or less irrational now than they were centuries ago. However, the difference is that irrationality can flourish more easily now with the advent of social media internet sites that traffic in irrational beliefs that encourage irrational thinking, and that make it very easy for a person to be overwhelmed by misinformation and thus form beliefs without any evidence and never really be exposed to counter-evidence.Two kinds of bad thinking07:08: In the book, we distinguish between two kinds of stubbornness or two kinds of bad thinking. We call the first, epistemic stubbornness, and the second, normative stubbornness. Epistemic stubbornness is where you adopt beliefs without sufficient evidence in favor of their truth. (08:19) What we call normative stubbornness is more a matter of behavior. And maybe here, temperament plays a bigger role. A person who is normatively stubborn applies rules without thinking the actions they choose and the courses of behavior that they adopt.What Nadler says is one of the root causes of persistent bad thinking11:46 Very often we know what the right thing to do is, we know what is good, but we act contrary to our better judgment. That's not just something that's a matter of our actions and behavior, but even in our minds, sometimes we know that a belief is not probably the right thing. It's probably not true, and yet somehow through peer pressure, for example, we feel compelled to go with the crowd, and we find ourselves believing things that we have no evidence for believing, and in fact stand in the face of contrary evidence.Show Links:Recommended Resources:PlatoEthics by Baruch SpinozaMeditations on First Philosophy by Rene Descartes A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume Immanuel KantSocratesConatusApology of Socrates by PlatoClytemnestraAchillesStoicism AristotelianismThomas HobbesGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of WisconsinHis Work:When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People: How Philosophy Can Save Us from OurselvesThink Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to DieA Book Forged in Hell: Spinoza's Scandalous Treatise and the Birth of the Secular AgeThe Best of All Possible Worlds: A Story of Philosophers, God, and Evil

"Meditations on First Philosophy" by René Descartes is a seminal work in modern Western philosophy, composed of six meditations in which Descartes engages in a process of radical doubt to establish a foundation for certain knowledge. The work begins with Descartes doubting everything he believes to be true, including his senses, memories, and even the existence of an external world. Through this methodical doubt, he arrives at the famous conclusion, "Cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am," asserting the certainty of his own existence as a thinking being.Descartes then proceeds to establish the existence of God, arguing that the idea of an infinite and perfect being cannot be generated by a finite and imperfect mind and must, therefore, originate from a higher source. He further argues that God, being benevolent, guarantees the reliability of clear and distinct perceptions.The final meditations reconcile the material and immaterial aspects of reality, laying the groundwork for Cartesian dualism. Descartes' "Meditations" significantly influenced Western philosophy by introducing foundational skepticism and establishing a method of systematic doubt as a means to attain certain and indubitable knowledge._______________________________________Help us to keep providing free content:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wisefool_______________________________________ WisefoolPress.com: The Search Is Overhttps://www.wisefoolpress.com/ Jedvaita.com: The Way the World Unfoldshttps://jedvaita.com/ Amazon Jed McKenna Pagehttps://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001JS057A _______________________________________ The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.-William Blake_______________________________________
Abby, Patrick, and Dan kick off their 2024 Lacan era by tackling his single most famous essay and concept: the mirror stage. Because Lacan is notoriously difficult, this is going to take multiple episodes, of which the first is devoted to stage-setting, demystifying, and unpacking exactly why Lacan is both so notoriously difficult, and also notorious in general. What shakes out of their ensuing conversation includes Lacan's biography (in brief); Lacan as a reader of Freud and the description of his project as a “return to Freud”; the experience of reading Lacan; frustration, anxiety, the pressure of time, and the logic of the “short session”; and more. Then they turn to the essay itself, getting granular about Lacan's relationship to phenomenology (and what that is), his opposition to Descartes' cogito (and what that entails), and more, building to the famous scene of the baby jubilant before the image of itself in the mirror. What a charming scene of self-recognition and unproblematic joy! Or is it? Stay tuned for the next installment.Texts cited:Jacques Lacan, Ecrits: The First Complete Edition in English. W.W.

The HBS hosts don their nightgowns, cozy up to the fire, and contemplate wax.There is, perhaps, no more famous statement in the history of philosophy than Rene Descartes' “I think, therefore I am.” This conclusion is reached in the Second of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy and is seen as one of the crowning achievements of modern philosophy, at least that kind of philosophy usually called “rationalism.” In fact, this claim can be said to be the founding moment of a trajectory in philosophy that goes from Descartes, through Spinoza and Leibniz, Kant and Hegel, into Edmund Husserl's phenomenology. It has been the target of a great deal of criticism as well. Some insist it is the origin of a dualism of mind and body. Others insist that it is the founding moment of a kind of subjectivity that is set over and against the material world. And others point to the class antagonism that is contained in the statement. Enrique Dussel goes so far as to insist that before there is the “ego cogito” there is the “ego conquero.” What does Descartes actually argue in this founding text? How does he conclude that “I exist as long as I am thinking?” And what consequences does he draw. Let's bring Descartes into the bar and ask him WTF?

As a manager if your desire is to be effective you must ask yourself one fundamental question. How much do you value the contributions of those you oversee leading? The answer to this question will determine your longevity as a leader. Business News Daily reports: Additionally, lack of employee engagement in the workplace contributes to retention challenges: 62 percent of employers say they struggle to keep employees engaged and productive. Employee Turnover. It's painful for any business. It's especially painful for small businesses. Turnover is time-consuming and costly for small businesses. And I am on a mission to reduce employee turnover. For Anne Donovan her passion, is her purpose. “I am a Human Resources leader known for developing new programs and training, dramatically improving employee retention and leadership performance. By conducting extensive employee feedback research, I design initiatives to address underlying issues across many industries. Organizations value my talent for identifying core workforce needs and taking action to develop and drive projects. Some of my successes include dramatically reducing turnover, introducing retention programs, spearheading leadership development programs, and creating succession plans for the future. In addition, leading culture shifts and change management during highly stressful times are some of my specialties. I have created high-performing teams by leading with a people-first philosophy. I develop and facilitate Leadership Development workshops with high energy and an eye on drawing people in for maximized learning. My passion lies in helping companies and people thrive.” She joined me this week to tell me more. For more information: https://donovanhrsolutions.com/ LinkedIn: Anne Donovan, SPHR,
In my Introduction to Philosophy course I introduce Descartes in this way: Almost 2000 years after Socrates' death in 399 B.C., the study of philosophy underwent a radical change. Epistemology became the central concern of philosophers beginning with the Frenchman, René Descartes (1596-1650), often called the “Father of modern philosophy.” Descartes, frustrated that 2000 years of speculative metaphysics yielded nothing he could confidently accept as certain, sought to discover a secure foundation upon which to base the emerging scientific outlook. His procedure, outlined in his Discourse on Method (1637) and Meditations on First Philosophy (1641), became known as methodical doubt. Descartes resolved to set aside as untrustworthy everything that admitted of the slightest doubt. As the senses often deceive us, we should not trust them. In fact, there is not even a certain procedure to differentiate waking experience from dreams. Mathematics and knowledge of general objects seems, however, to remain the same whether we dream or not, but even mathematical conclusions are susceptible to error if the supreme being of my universe is not a supremely good God, but an evil demon, seeking at all times to lead me astray. What remains of my experience that is not subject to doubt in such a scenario? Nothing, Descartes declares, except the fact of my own existence. No matter how deceptive may be the content of my thought, I cannot doubt my own existence so long as I am thinking – doubting, questioning, feeling, being deceived, experiencing. This conclusion, then, becomes the certain foundation upon which Descartes will resurrect the structures of knowledge demolished by his radical doubt. Cogito ergo sum, “I think, therefore I am” is Descartes' foundational innate idea. Thus, truth/knowledge is discovered, not through the senses, which remain subject to error, but rationally. Descartes and his followers (the Continental (i.e. European) tradition in philosophy) become known as rationalists.

We stand on the shoulders of Giants, who have gone before us, as men, just like us, to try to understand what it true and what it means for a thing to be true. For Descartes, his Meditations on First Philosophy includes the line that divides the mind from the body. Since it is possible that our senses to be tricked, it is possible that all of our senses can be tricked at the same time. If that is true, how can we even know that we exist. And from this we get the line, "I think, therefore I am."But this isn't the first time mankind has concerned itself with the mind-body distinction. Plato and his influence also depends on there being a difference between the idea of a thing, and the physical thing we interact with.

In my Introduction to Philosophy course I introduce Descartes in this way: Almost 2000 years after Socrates' death in 399 B.C., the study of philosophy underwent a radical change. Epistemology became the central concern of philosophers beginning with the Frenchman, René Descartes (1596-1650), often called the “Father of modern philosophy.” Descartes, frustrated that 2000 years of speculative metaphysics yielded nothing he could confidently accept as certain, sought to discover a secure foundation upon which to base the emerging scientific outlook. His procedure, outlined in his Discourse on Method (1637) and Meditations on First Philosophy (1641), became known as methodical doubt. Descartes resolved to set aside as untrustworthy everything that admitted of the slightest doubt. As the senses often deceive us, we should not trust them. In fact, there is not even a certain procedure to differentiate waking experience from dreams. Mathematics and knowledge of general objects seems, however, to remain the same whether we dream or not, but even mathematical conclusions are susceptible to error if the supreme being of my universe is not a supremely good God, but an evil demon, seeking at all times to lead me astray.

This series argues that Nietzsche's most important ethical and political commitments are better realized through a form of radical egalitarianism rather than through the aristocratic figure imagined by Nietzsche himself. The concepts in focus are amor fati, the pathos of distance vs. the pathos of difference, and the will to power.Support the podcast:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/Support the show

Why don't more philosophers take psychedelic drugs seriously as a means of examining reality? Sean Illing talks with Justin Smith-Ruiu, professor of philosophy, whose recent essay "This Is a Philosopher on Drugs" tells of how experimenting with psilocybin and other substances led to a radical reevaluation of nearly everything in his life — including his views on the nature of reality. They discuss the roots of an alternative worldview in the thought of German polymath G.W. Leibniz, what it means to say — as Socrates does — that philosophy is "preparation for death," and why psychedelics aren't more often explored in contemporary philosophy.

It's via this path that Descartes believed he built a sound philosophy. • In the first meditation, we use hypothetical doubt to tease out truth from the inaccuracies of our own perceptions, as well as the flaws and limits of our reasoning faculties. We can practice this sentiment by reminding ourselves that we can always be wrong, and to take doubt as a starting point, rather than to make assumptions.• Meditation 2 is about finding out what is true once all that is false is removed from the equation. This is where Descartes' famous cogito ergo sum proposition comes about, explaining that at the very least, he knew he was in fact thinking, and that proved he existed. • From this we are led to meditation 3, which discusses the criteria for universal knowledge as those things perceived clearly and distinctly. • To take inspiration from Descartes, we needn't follow his complex philosophy in detail, but we can practice a kind of philosophical doubt, committing never to hold beliefs we know aren't true, and to have stringent standards for what we consider truth.#AbsoluteCertainty #AbsoluteTruth #AnalyticGeometry #CogitoErgoSum #CognitiveBiases #CriticalThinker #Descartes #Enlightenment #Flèche #ReneDescartes #IntellectualHonesty #IrrefutableEvidence #LaFlèche #Meditation #Philosophy #ScientificMethod #UniversalTruth #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PeterHollins #TheScienceofSelf #ThinkLikeaGenius #PeterHollins/home/russell/temp/beliefs-justified-base-ultimately-belief-indubitable/beliefs-justified-base-ultimately-belief-indubitable-wood-light-man-person-7219821-MART--PRODUCTION.jpg
Craig Seaver joins us again to continue exploring Rangering" and introducing "Ranger First." Many agencies have adopted the Ranger First Philosophy, which continues to gain popularity nationwide.
Baseball America's MLB Coach of the Year, Donnie Ecker, shares his heart-forward approach to coaching and leadership.Donnie Ecker is a highly respected and accomplished Major League Baseball (MLB) coach who is entering his second season as bench coach and offensive coordinator for the Texas Rangers. Before his tenure with the Rangers, Donnie was recognized as Baseball America's 2021 MLB Coach of the Year when he helped lead the San Francisco Giants to a franchise record 107 wins and 241 home runs. However, this is not a conversation about baseball. Donnie's expertise is in biomechanics and analytics – but it's his people-first philosophy and ability to help his players work from the inside out that makes his coaching style so powerful and effective. I love how he's navigated the tension between taking care of himself and taking care of those around him. Best of all, it's forged in a great life story. Donnie has skills that we can all learn from and try to implement in our own lives – in business, sport, in our communities, or in our families. So, whether you're a baseball fan, a coach, a business leader, or someone looking to level up your own performance, I think you're really going to love this conversation with Coach Donnie Ecker.-----You can also check out our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.net.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We examine C. S. Lewis's essay, "Historicism." Jenny and I discovered God's hand in the choice of essays for this year's analysis. I chose these four essays, not consciously aware of their interrelations. In this episode, I emphasize the message they all share, and their individual contributions to the greater message they together expound. When you've listened to this episode of the Christian Atheist, join Jenny and I as we discuss it on our "No Compromise" podcast this Thursday, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God.

We examine C. S. Lewis's essay, "The Funeral of a Great Myth." I argue that Lewis was premature to announce this myth's death, and that what he calls the Myth is actually the Hegelian philosophical worldview that has come to dominate our culture. When you've listened to this episode of the Christian Atheist, join Jenny and I as we discuss it on our "No Compromise" podcast this Thursday, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God. Our next Lewis essay will be "Historicism." Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it.

In this episode we go over the sixth Meditations of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy. Before we wrap up discussing Descartes, Amanda and Brandon give an update on their own lives - Brandon is applying to graduate programs all across the world and Amanda has a taste of what it's like to go viral on TikTok. In the sixth Meditation, we discuss how Descartes believes that the mind and body are independent of one another and what this might actually look like.
In this episode we go over the third and fourth Meditations of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy. Listen as we grapple with the question of the existence of God, contemplate our understanding of infinity, try to comprehend error and its possibility, and wonder about how to make the right decisions.
In this first episode we talk about the first two Meditations of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy. Join us as we wonder whether or not we should trust what we learn through the senses, ask about what we ourselves at bottom are, and laugh at some of Descartes' eccentricities.
In this podcast, we will explain the friendship first philosophy in the East. Avoiding arguments and debate is another hallmark of Eastern thought that a lot of Westerners find hard to comprehend. In the West, we are almost encouraged to debate so we can come to a conclusion on a matter. This way of thinking is incorrectly believed to be universal. Westerners often think that the way they think is the same for everyone else. This is a clumsy way of viewing the world. Both East and West cognitively evolved differently which influenced their social structures, philosophies, religions, language, and basic world view. In the West, debate was a natural byproduct of analytical thinking and individualism. While in the East, avoiding debate based on the foundation of friendship first was a natural byproduct of holistic thinking and collectivism.

A solid attempt to get to the truth of all things!'Meditations On First Philosophy' by René Descartes is a philosophical treatise designed to prove the existence of God. Descartes creates 6 meditations which run through step by step how he goes about finding out what is irrevocably true. This starts with his famous 'cogito, ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am) position and fleshes out why the senses are misleading and how ideas can be split into separate categories.I summarised the book as follows. "For a short old book it packs a lot of punch. Not only were the ideas clear but it was easy to read with simple examples/analogies. It hasn't convinced me of God's existence but it has shown a very intriguing mode of thinking. A recommendation I have is to use wikipedia or other resources for additional clarity of the final chapters which started to get harder to fully comprehend."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

"The remaining task is to consider whether material things exist." Spoiler alert: they do, and we can know them when we properly utilize the evidence of our senses, restraining our will and judgment to what is "clearly and distinctly perceived." Even so, we are bound to make errors, as we are finite creatures. Socrates would be proud, though he would probably be even more skeptical than Descartes. I would encourage my listeners, if interested, to listen to our series called "The Evident, Evidence, and Faith" on our Christian Atheist Podcast, as we deal with some of these same issues there.

In this episode, I'm reading a chapter of my book, Unconscious Correspondences. I considered an episode on Cartesian Dualism, but realized I'd already said everything I needed to say, in a chapter in this book. Rather than repurposing the same content into a new form, why not just read directly from the book? As Nietzsche tended to do when introducing his own earlier works, I shall do the same. I will introduce this essay: "Body and Mind: The Life and Meditations of Rene Descartes - A Polemic" with, "An attempt at self-criticism". This essay has its flaws, and belabors the point a bit too stringently at places. In retrospect, I made some very overgeneralized claims about academia and modern attitudes towards Descartes that one could easily challenge. I should also say that these claims derived from personal experience with my own professors, and the professors of many of my friends. Descartes was always taught as being "basically a secret atheist who didn't believe the religious stuff at all and included it just to please the church." Not only did one of my own professors say some version of this, I heard this from others, attending different universities. This always struck me as odd, because the central premises of his Meditations on First Philosophy are completely derived from Christian presuppositions, which are simply taken from theology and put into philosophical language. Thus, I challenged: whether Descartes was truly a departure from past philosophy (Plato, of course, sets up figures to raise assertions and Socrates to raise skeptical objections/doubts); whether Descartes was actually an atheist or a deist (or whether we could understand him within the assumption he was a Christian, perhaps a Rosicrucian); whether our own interpretations of Descartes have to do with our embrace of the "mind as self" ego-consciousness (thus leading us to be confused and embarrassed by Descartes' invocation of God as the ultimate certainty). While I wrote in a way that was somewhat clumsy in my eyes now, and while I may have spent too much time in a detour talking about the background historical context in which Descartes emerged, I feel these challenges are raised in a forceful and meaningful enough way to be useful for people to think about. https://app.thebookpatch.com/BookStore/unconscious-correspondences/3fe82dc3-d4ac-4d61-81c3-9ce9a7abe483
