Esther Lightcap Meek - The Act of Knowing | WAWTAR #130
Heavy Things Lightly
Is There a New Way of Knowing?
The author is a university professor and emeritus. His books are meant to be transformative, he says. He hopes his work will change the way people think about knowledge. The book longing to know comes out 20 years after it was published.
Esther Lightcap Meek is a professor emeritus at Geneva College and author of multiple books examining our understanding of knowledge. More specifically she aims to illumine how we know what we know. She talks with John today about the erosion of embodied learning in the modern world and how we can work back towards reality as it is.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
