Kastrup responds to my criticisms of Analytic Idealism

👉 I have started a Patreon page (free and paid) with a philosophy community, exclusive videos, and special live events! I'd love to see you there:   / drnathanhawkins   Bernardo Kastrup and I discuss concerns I have with aspects of his metaphysics of Analytic Idealism. (For a link to a video I did on the main problems I see here:    • Bernardo Kastrup's Analytic Idealism CRITI...  ) Kastrup provides important clarifications and further detail. In this discussion we focus discussion on the interaction of scientific evidence with philosophical views, and how modelling can provide insights into the nature of reality. #bernardokastrup #idealism #metaphysics --------- Video Contents --------- 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:00:46 - Nutshell compared to Baloney 0:04:49 - Does Nutshell reveal your frustration? 0:09:25 - The role of empirical evidence in metaphysics 0:26:03 - How 'real' are physical theories in analytic idealism? 0:31:10 - How does entropy disprove naive realism? 0:39:13 - What does entropy tell us about mind at large? 0:51:45 - How can we make sense of mind at large? 1:06:02 - Does mathematics relate to reality? 1:23:14 - How can we talk or think about reality beyond the dashboard? 1:32:50 - Analytic idealism outlined 1:36:03 - Analytic idealism and behaviourism 1:47:13 - Bodies and corpses 1:56:14 - How does meta-consciousness arise from phenomenal consciousness? 2:06:01 - Does mind at large perceive? 2:12:46 - Mental excitations and appearances 2:30:24 - Things to come in part 2 ____Channel description____ I am a graduate of Cambridge University with a PhD in Philosophy, and I am also an affiliated researcher there alongside doing some lecturing and tuition. My thesis was on the nature of truth, and I specialise in metaphysics, logic, and the history of analytic philosophy. I believe philosophy should be made accessible to the curious and philosophers have a duty to reenter the public debate on the questions of importance to our age. This channel is my attempt to do that! On a personal level, I am a lucky husband, and proud father of two young boys that keep me very much grounded!
