单集简介 ...

Today we talk about expanding our view of what a religious quest includes. The limits of dualistic thinking. Technological enframing and obsession with utility. Self-emptying. Consciousness, Nihility and Sunyata. Sunyata as immanence.

  • Hello everyone, I'm Steven West, this is Philosophize This.

  • So I always get emails after an episode's released.

  • But after last episode, there was a notable increase in two specific kinds of emails I get.

  • One was an increase in the number of people saying the episode led them to a pretty deep shift in the ways they're thinking about things.

  • That K.

  • G.

  • Nishitani is opening them up to a whole new interesting way of exploring what it is to exist.

  • The other was an increase, and the number of people saying they don't quite get it.

  • That while they appreciate it and are sticking with it, that it's such a different way of thinking,

  • that it's difficult to wrap my mind around what's truly being said here.

  • Just felt the need to acknowledge this before we talk about Nishitani's views on religion today.

  • I mean, I know it must sound like a broken record lately.

  • Be sure to listen to every episode from 211 up until this one if you want to understand what's being talked about.

  • But look, it's not like I'm trying to annoy you, or to be overly complicated.

  • It's just a gift I have, really.

  • No, but there's episodes of this podcast where we're doing something different.

  • Some episodes are trying to cover things a little more broadly across a thinker's entire work.

  • It casts a wide net.

  • That's what some of the episodes we do do.

  • But those are always going to be episodes that can never hit you as hard as when we talk about more the context of where a thinker's coming from,
