Quick But Deep #6: Life after Life

Striving with problems in a good way, and other philosophical entanglements with Alva Noë

This Quick but Deep (the 5th) riffs on the conversation I had with philosopher Alva Noë. One listener commented that this episode is ‘easy to listen to and understand’ but still ‘keeps you thinking for days.’ That’s similar to an experience of Alva’s work; it is a pleasure to read but can stay with you and churn your thoughts philosophically. What has reverberated most for me from this conversation is the interplay of awareness, habit, and the idea that we are all in an ongoing conversation with the world around us—and that this, like love, is a life process.
