    Good humor. But, I can recall just how big an impact this very topic of Berkeley’s Idea-ism had on this sophomore engineering student in Phil 101 some 35 years ago. It was like taking off on a flight into adventurous novelty. This event forever sealed my ‘philosophy Jones.’

    Perhaps I saw in Berkeley a flashback to days of more juvenile imaginative thought now in contrast w/ college, where I was being bombarded with the certainties of science and technology. No wonder that I would soon likewise fell in love with Pirsig’s Art/Motorcycle treatise on the romantic v classisal temperament and the neutral monism of Quality.

    FWIW, one of my favorite songs of that era was this ballad of romantic rebellious youth – the sitars heighten the sense of rebellion, and if you close your eyes, you will find yourself swaying in the bus as Elton and Taupin works their magic… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyBJoj1zK_4

    I’m currently reading Nagarjuna for ep #27 (to be recorded in early Oct.) and trying to figure out to what extent his conception of emptiness amounts to the same thing as Berkeley’s idealism (without God).

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
