"This Is Life with Lisa Ling" airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on PBS. This is the first episode of a three-part series about creepiness. "We just have a whole bunch of ideas for future episodes," says co-host Lisa Ling. The show also explores what it means to be 'creepy' in modern society.
David and Tamler talk about William James’ chapter on mysticism from his book "Varieties of Religious Experience." What defines a mystical experience? Why do they defy expression and yet feel like a state of knowledge, a glimpse into the window of some undiscovered aspect of reality? Is Tamler right that David has a little mystic inside of him just waiting to burst forth from his breast?
Plus – another edition of VBW does conceptual analysis and we’re sticking with ‘c’ words – this time the definitive theory of ‘creepy.’
