Delve into Carl Jung's insights and the ideas of Aristotle, Aquinas, Meister Eckhart, and William of Ockham. Witness the shift from a divinely ordered cosmos to a mechanistic universe through pivotal changes like the Black Plague, the rise of secularism, and Copernicus's heliocentric model. We discuss the abstract relationship between commerce and meaning, the conflicts of extreme self-sacrifice in spirituality, and the evolving roles of rationality and emotion. Learn how complexity theory, free will, and technology interweave with human purpose and the search for a new narrative order in today's advanced society. Join us in unraveling these profound philosophical questions and their impacts on our modern worldview. • 00:00 Introduction: Carl Jung's Quote and Human Uniqueness • 00:56 Lecture 20: The Evolution of Reading and Knowledge • 01:57 Aquinas and the Will: Love vs. Reason • 04:38 The Black Plague and Social Change • 05:56 The Rise of Trade and the Merchant Class • 06:45 Scientific Revolution: Copernicus and Galileo • 10:00 The Unraveling of St. Augustine's Three Axes of Meaning • 11:32 Modern Reflections on Meaning and Value • 20:59 Spirituality and Self-Negation • 30:17 The Role of Rationality in Spirituality • 41:48 Reconstructing a Narrative Order • 51:15 Elon Musk and the Light of Consciousness • 51:32 Life as an Anti-Entropic Force • 51:54 Carl Jung's Insight on Meaning • 55:25 The Specialness of Humans • 56:55 The Challenge of Defining Entropy • 58:55 The Limits of Mathematical Determinism • 01:04:35 The Role of Free Will in a Materialist Worldview • 01:10:47 The Need for a New Narrative Order • 01:23:02 The Balance Between Rationality and Faith • 01:31:45 Choosing a Frame of Reference • 01:34:38 Concluding Thoughts on Meaning and Entropy
