What we can see follows from how we can look. Theoria is a higher vision. As Plotinus says, “We must invoke…a new manner of seeing, a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.”

Video Lecture: Science and Religion (3) and Philosophy

Posted by Max Leyf on 2021-04-182021-04-18

Dear friends,

Some readers may be interested in a lecture on the relationship between religion and science as a continuation from this lecture and this one. It was recorded for the sake of my students in a Critical Thinking course at Alaska Pacific University. I welcome any comments or thoughts on the subject.

Warmly,

Max
