Shais Taub: A Vulnerable Conversation About Shame, Selfhood, and Authenticity [Mysticism III 3/3]

<description>In this episode of the &lt;i&gt;18Forty Podcast&lt;/i&gt;, we speak with Philip Goff—a philosophy professor who devotes much of his work to investigating the ultimate nature of reality—about consciousness, mysticism, and God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also hear from Rabbi Eli Rubin about the possibility of “Jewish panpsychism.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this episode we discuss:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What is the relationship between consciousness and scientific observation?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How should people find purpose in their lives?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How does a secular philosopher make the decision to turn to religion?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Tune in to hear a conversation about whether mysticism has scientific credibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interview begins at 9:22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philip Goff is a philosophy professor at Durham University, UK, where he devotes much of his work to investigating the ultimate nature of reality.
