Ep.15-John Vervaeke: Artful Dialectic, The Logos of Trauma & Significance of Branching Patterns

A delightful conversation with John Vervaeke who has worked deeply both in and out of the academy to understand and respond to 'the meaning crisis' through the art of dialectic. In  our conversation we explore why this practice can be a fountainhead of meaningfulness, insight and intimacy that confounds nihilism.  Vervaeke argues that when debate has broken down we must move into the unknown terrain of dialectic to rebuild trust, wonder and 'higher order truths'. We play around my work on the landscape trauma and deep nature relatedness to consider a new proposition what is the logos of trauma and how does it relate to the logos of nature? 

~This was our Second Conversation and I deeply enjoyed it. Looking forward to further collaboration with John. Check out the Prequel conversation on Ep.9~

John Vervaeke lectures in Cognitive Science & Psychology at the University of Toronto. He is at the leading responding to our collective circumstance with his expansive ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’ lecture series and work re-imagining the ancient art of Dialogos. John’s work is cutting edge, deeply collaborative and at its highest aspiration promises to respond to our age with a new synthesis of science, wisdom traditions, religious understandings and embodied contemplative practices. -John's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/johnverv...
