Stephen West of the Philosophize This! podcast hosts a new PEL offering: An Aftershow to a PEL episode, in this case #109 on Karl Jaspers. Hear questions and comments from super-smart PEL listeners, Stephen, and Mark Linsenmayer.
What does Jaspers mean by “transcendence?” Do you buy the claim that science doesn’t give you a world-view? What is a world-view anyway? What are the “limits of reason?”
This is a 20 minute preview of a 72 minute discussion. Get the full audio by becoming a PEL Citizen. This will also enable you to take part in the next Aftershow (on Whitehead) on February 15 at 1pm Eastern time.
If you want to learn even more about Jaspers, you can also join Mark’s new Not School group to read Truth and Symbol (1947) in February.
