Topics
Jordan Peterson: 本期节目探讨了哲学的实践意义，以及在现代社会中学习哲学的重要性。他认为，理解伟大哲学家的思想至关重要，因为我们许多想法都受到他们的潜移默化影响，而未意识到这一点。如果不理解这些思想，我们就如同木偶，受制于我们无法理解的力量。 Stephen Hicks: 他详细阐述了其在Peterson Academy教授的课程，涵盖了从现代哲学到后现代哲学的发展历程，并分析了重要哲学家对世界的影响。他认为，新一代哲学教学应该利用技术革命带来的机遇，并通过更易访问的平台和更高的制作质量来提升学习体验。他强调，哲学教育的重要性体现在它能帮助人们审视自身信念的来源、价值观和人生目标，以及哲学思想对政治、经济、商业、家庭和宗教等各个领域的影响。他认为，哲学的终极目标是追求对真实世界的认知。 Stephen Hicks: 他深入探讨了经验主义和理性主义的局限性，以及后现代哲学对现代思想的反思和批判。他认为，后现代哲学家对现代思想进行了反思和批判，并对哲学的未来提出了质疑。他认为，任何好的认识论都应该将意识视为对现实的反应机制，而不是独立于现实的实体。认识论研究不能脱离形而上学，两者需要结合起来理解。他还强调了哲学、心理学和神经科学之间的联系，以及在理解心智运作机制方面进行合作的重要性。他认为，我们应该将人类的本能反应视为优势而非劣势，而不是将其视为认知的障碍。
