Nahtoderfahrungen, Bewusstsein und Wirklichkeit | Treffpunkt • Studio F

In this episode of the Thanatos TV series "Meeting Point • Studio F," you will see a conversation with philosopher Susanna Machowinski (Germany). She is deeply involved with near-death experiences and similar events, seeing them as a "largely untapped source of knowledge." In conversation with Jennifer Nejo, she explains the advantages of an idealistic worldview compared to physicalism and materialism. She considers the latter to have "failed" when it comes to explaining consciousness. A fascinating discussion about the fundamental questions of reality and experience, and the philosophical consequences of death research.
