Re: The Nose Dive of Philosophy
That makes me think the spiritual connection is vital. I get the same feeling you do - we read/hear about all of these big name 20th century philosophers who inspired generations of thinkers after them and whose ideas permeated every scientific and cultural sphere, but if we were to survey the aver...

Re: The Nose Dive of Philosophy
I suspect this 'misleading' is a ubiquitous problem of academic departments in general, at least among the ones grown powerful enough to become dogmatic more than discoverist. You might be right. But philosophy is a special case since it lies at the root of everything. In academic philosophy idle s...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Peter, can you write in summary what are the far reaching consequences of the Perennial philosophy? Let's imagine that humans become more reasonable and if not all, at least majority of Earth's population adopts it. Everyone becomes pencil balanced on their tip. How do you envision this to transfor...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Of course BK endorses non-dualism. But he rarely talks about "mysticism" or makes any sort of philosophical arguments for it without making the topic much more precise. Which is the same thing JP does - he formulates the philosophical questions he is thinking through and attempting to ans...

Well spotted. I regularly rant on this topic.Simon Adams wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 12:22 am I notice there are a couple of interesting papers on this subject here. Not your work by any chance?
If only folks realised how completely they are being misled by the philosophy department.

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
BK is 'selling' "mysticism" which is "roughly equivalent" to non-dualism? Now I have to question whether you understand philosophy or have read any of their books (BK or JP). And how can anyone understand what you're talking about if you don't elaborate on your short cryptic phr...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Peter ... so what is your take then on the latest JP topic thread, wherein it seems your claim is not so obvious ... https://metakastrup.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=203 Not my thing, I'm afraid, since I don't want read his book. I agree with much of what he says about politics and psychology, but h...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Not only is not obvious, it's the exact opposite conclusion I reach when considering his body of work. With regards to philosophy at least, who knows or cares about "mysticism", whatever that means. Ah. If this is your approach I wouldn't expect you to understand what I;m talking about. I...

Re: Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson
Hi Peter ... Nice to see you checking in to the new venue. Not sure what you're referring to that JP 'doesn't get', since there are others here who clearly feel that he 'gets' quite a bit. Perhaps you could be more specific. Thanks for the welcome. I meant that JP doesn't 'get' philosophy, mysticis...
