Makes my day whenever another one of these drop, wish i could afford to suport the patreon, thank you for creating nd uploading these high quality podcasts for free.
Would love to hear more about Kyoto school. Also would be interested to see if you would cover Charles Taylor, "A Secular Age" some time down the line. Great episode!
The examples you gave are of people using logical reasoning to try to understand something they can't show without error in logical reasoning nor unbiased based evidence. It's like saying i studying Harry Potter franchise using logical reasoning to understand it and being convinced that it actually happened. If many people have similar experiences of what they call devine but can't prove without fallacies nor evidence that the conclusion of what their experience was then im always going to conclude that they don't know what happened to them just like every failed scientific hypothesis. If i could have the experience of what their experience then yes but it doesn't change anything about what we actually know what the experience is other than we are hallucinations. Every fact is based on something that corresponds with our interpretations of the interactions between laws of physics and our brains. Or else might as well say god put us in a matrix to test us and prove to Lucifer that we won't break even though he knows most of us will. We are not questioning the experience but the explanation of what was happening. Science uses the same thing with it's explanation of our perceived reality. Every claim has to have logical reasoning, less to no biased based evidence to show that someone knows what they are talking about. If not it's just guess work hoping that it's the correct answer. They maybe things that we can't find answers to yes but we also can't say we know what those experiences are other than hallucinations too. It's basically lying to ourselves because we can't find answers. Lie to yourself just enough and I'm pretty sure you will experience the mystic too.
Goddamn! I read St Teresa's diary, there is three volumes, with two editions in English translation available, I didn't finish it... I loved her though, her punctuation gave editors fits. She is way funny. But wow -- _The Ecstasy of St Teresa_ ...that Bernini sculpture is off the chain. Erotic AF I am in a real time crisis. Thanks for posting West. Timely. Legit. I have been vomiting and my stomach is tore up. Learning to manage anxiety is not for naught. The bile of PTSD. West? I checked: You might be aware; current Plato scholarship is of the consensus that Plato should be attributed with some 540,000 written words -- I did some rough calculation, I estimate that you have written nearly 900,000 words for this channel. I am impressed and ever so grateful. Cheers-- The Poet vs the Rhetorician; one creates new meaning, the other writes about those new allusions. _and if I could, I would dedicate this work to God_ --Wittgenstein, _Philosophical Investigations_ Bibliomancy makes the profoundest mark on (Wo)Man.
I am gonna pick-up Critchley's book because I need a way out of this mess I got myself into. I already have Critchley's book on _Hamlet_ --maybe I will start there.
Wow man. You have been killing it with your content production! Love it.

The Kyoto school certainly sounds fascinating. Looking forward to it!
this is beautiful. thank you
More please! Very interesting as always.
Thank you for this
Yes, please do the Kyoto School, and more on alternate framings of reality. I loved your episodes on Simone Weil and her being a 20th century mystic.
Putting 'I'm a mystic' in a job application had me cracked up 😂 can't imagine a scenario of it playing out well 😅
Seems like this would tie in nicely with Rudolf Otto and The Idea of the Holy.
