Spiritual Bypassing and Personal Growth
The speakers examine the role of spiritual bypassing in hindering personal growth and its impact on the world. They discuss the concept of ultimate negation and the cynical or ironic stance, exploring the difference between doubt as a means of determining something affirmative and doubt as a way of avoiding decision-making. The chapter emphasizes the need for a balance between critique and reconstruction in philosophy and proposes using philosophy as a tool for defense and decision-making in service of the community.
