➤ Philosophy • Love and Relationships • Cognitive Science • Sustainability • Complexity • Technology • Embodied Cognition • Paradoxes • Science and Metaphysics • Human Behavior and SocietyThis podcast, "Love & Philosophy," explores the rich intersections of philosophical, scientific, technological, and poetic themes, going beyond simple either/or dichotomies to delve into nuanced discussions. It embraces living into philosophical questions and sees paradox as a portal to deeper understanding. Episodes feature a mix of discussions with various thought leaders, including philosophers, scientists, authors, and artists. The podcast often investigates concepts such as systems thinking, autopoiesis, the enactive approach, and cognitive science, integrating these with more humanistic elements of love and existential inquiry.
Recurring themes include the integration of traditional philosophical thought with modern complexities. Discussions frequently cover topics like bioregionalism, the enactive approach in cognitive science, and the philosophy of mind. The influence of classic and contemporary philosophical ideas is a common thread, often seen in considerations of embodiment, consciousness, and autonomy. The podcast also places a significant emphasis on the human experience in the context of complexity science, examining how our actions and realities are co-constructed.
Another focal point is the impact of culture and society on individual and collective human understanding. This includes exploring ecological philosophy, systemic evolution, and the juxtaposition of Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. Dialogues often highlight the role of love, empathy, and relationship-building in understanding both the self and the broader world.
Overall, "Love & Philosophy" is a platform for exploring deep and often paradoxical questions across diverse fields, aiming to bridge gaps between varied disciplines through rich and rooted conversations.
