Immanence and Transcendence: From Socrates to Foucault

Описание: Immanence and Transcendence: From Socrates to Foucault

In this episode of Life Telos as First Principle, we trace the 2,500 hundred yearlong philosophical journey of immanence and transcendence—from Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, to Christian theology, to the Enlightenment and modernity, then to Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Neitzche, phenomenology, Whitehead, existentialism, critical theory, and finally postmodernism. This matters because our beliefs, ways of thinking, values, and actions are shaped by a long line of thinkers whose ideas we are scarcely conscious of and haven’t examined or questioned. This video is an invitation to not live on autopilot.
We explore how each of these traditions wrestled with the tension between grounding meaning in nature and lived experience and orienting toward a higher purpose beyond life. We see that some chose one of these options over the other and some attempted to synthesize them both. This history sets the stage for Life Telos as First Principle, which offers a further elaboration of this synthesis, rooted in life itself, and explores how consciousness is an essential part of it.
