"Salvation is the renewal of the soul, through the indwelling of the eternal logos in the spirit." A rejuvenating conversation indeed! May the Manual guide us all!
Interesting conversation. Definitely need to read that book. Edit: Thank you for this post. Returning, rewatching, and listening to the video, I realized I was not as much of a materialist as I used to think I was. The lines of thought between the Cambridge Platonists to Leibniz, to Hegel, to the Christian thinkers is so interesting.
Very interesting conversation, these platonists must be remembered, they were very important for the developments of subsequent thought. Great contribution, thanks.
Thanks for posting this. What a wonderful presentation and discussion. This may be a minor point, but I found the pace of the conversation very comforting. It's unusual on youtube, I have found, that people pause and consider a question before responding. This relaxed pace drew me into the exchange as it also gave me some moments to consider what was being said. Thanks again.
Hmm, I was just reading the wiki article on the Cambridge Platonists yesterday, then today this video is recommended to me. (Coincidence or....?). I always find it interesting to discover intellectual predecessors who grappled with the same issues that concern me today. Going off-topic, is there some cultural significance to your vest?
Identity (sameness) is dual to difference. Being is dual to non being creates becoming -- Plato. Simultaneity is dual to relativity -- Einstein. Same is dual to different. Time dilation is dual to length contraction -- Einstein, special relativity. Space is dual to time -- Einstein. Absolute time (Galileo) is dual to relative time (Einstein) -- time duality. "Always two there are" -- Yoda. Simultaneous events are observer dependent or relative to the observer. The observed is dual to the observer -- David Bohm. Duality creates reality. Mind (the internal soul, syntropy) is dual to matter (the external soul, entropy) -- Descartes or Plato's divided line. Points are dual to lines -- the principle of duality in geometry. Plato's divided line is dual.

This is the best most comprehensive and explicit podcast I’ve heard in many years
Thank you

Reading Bulgakov's
Unfading Light. This is a great companion to that effort.
Cheers!
What a great guest and topic. Looking forward to this one. Thanks Johannes. God bless
brillant Johannes! absolutely lovely to hear about this. We definitely need more of these kinds of conversations and also this area of philosophy!

Does anyone know the scholar that Douglas Hedley cites at 44:02, before Mark Edwards?
