    Excellent
    Worth listening to
  • Taha Birben
    Super-insightful and creative
    By far, the greatest lectures I've had the privilege to listen to. Thank you professor Vervaeke.
  • LeoSalvatore
    The Best Encounter between Science & Philosophy
    Insightful, incisive, and incredibly inspiring. This podcast is a wonderful symbol of civility, integrity, and phenomenal intellection. Vervaeke’s work stands as a paradigm for consilient integrations of science and philosophy. Every conversation involves an impressive and compelling grand-tour (or should I say, Silk Road) of the history of religion, philosophy, and science, all enfolded in layers of top-notch empirical research. What I appreciate the most is Vervaeke’s commitment to his mission, which, unlike many of his successful public-facing colleagues, he has not once compromised.

    Thought provoking and full of wisdom
    Dr. Vervaeke’s 50 part series, Awakening From The Meaning Crisis, is not only a lesson in history across multiple disciplines, but it has helped me reveal blindspots in my ways of thinking and in my character. If you love philosophy, history, neuroscience and more…then you will probably enjoy this podcast. Although it is quite the time commitment, I highly recommend starting with his initial 50 part series. Thank you for everything you do Dr. john Vervaeke! Philia Sophia and beyond!

    If I’d had lecturers like this in college…
    it wouldn’t have taken me 20 years to get my BA. I just finished the 50th and final episode of his”Awakening From The Meaning Crisis” series and was captivated and enthralled throughout. It was a metalogue, in that Vervaeke talks about awakened states, particularly the flow state, throughout and he is most definitely in a flow state while lecturing. The energy is contagious.
