@waldenpod @Philip_Goff @dustin_crummett so much of what he’s called for (new science that doesn’t make Galileo’s error and overcomes materialism while remaining totally consonant with contemporary physics, etc) is waiting to be taken up in books like “The Concept of Nature” (1920) & “Science & the Modern World” (1925)

If you're listening, @jordanbpeterson, I'd love to see you engage with some actual intellectuals on these questions, eg, Bruno Latour. You'll find he's well ahead of many of your shallow criticisms. Still you'd do well to read & respond to "Facing Gaia" https://t.co/82jI7XFOu4 https://t.co/fsroY2vQBb

At one point in my new book, I suggest that Socrates bears some resemblance to Plato's Receptacle (Timaeus): Socratic virtue is cosmologically grounded. The Good really is in the Sun, truth & beauty in friendly planets. The One overflows into the light of infinitely many stars. https://t.co/1wcnxC6OE6

Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology

William A. Dembski
☿ Footnotes2Plato ☼☽☿ Footnotes2Plato ☼☽

I must admit the laudable references to intelligent design theorist William Dembski's work trouble me. I'm obviously not one who thinks neo-Darwinism explains all (or much at all) of life or consciousness, but Smith's perennialist leanings seem to have led him astray here.

@nath_ormond @Philip_Goff Like materialism, dualism, & idealism, panpsychism is a metaphysical interpretation of the available scientific evidence. It is not itself a falsifiable scientific hypothesis. Other criteria are needed in metaphysics.
