In Part 1, we cover Nancy's life trajectory and what led her to write this book, plus the major theme of the book which is to use Romans Chapter 1 as a primer in how to analyze any reductionism to find its flaw. My apologies, it gets cut off rather abruptly due to technical difficulties. To hear the rest of the discussion, here is the link to Part 2: https://youtu.be/bEYnlIqaGh4
Also I mentioned the YouTube channel, The Anadromist, and his publishing of the lectures by Hans Rookmaaker. Here is a lecture on art. https://youtu.be/zSdYF__ZWt4
In Part 2, linked above, we move on to the trajectory of philosophy since the Enlightenment and how the loss of enchantment has narrowed the frame for those who are seeking truth, especially how those trapped in a scientific reductionist frame have nowhere to look for the source of consciousness than a kind of pan psychism or panentheism. What did the Middle Ages have to say about that line of belief?
