Amidst the echoing turmoil of the 20th century, philosopher W.V. Quine wove a quiet revolution in thought, challenging the sharp divisions between truth and experience. In our journey tonight, we explore his concept of a seamless web of beliefs, where knowledge does not stand isolated but vibrates through a connected universe of thoughts and experiences. As we delve into Quine’s portrayal of knowledge as a holistic system, gently adjusting and intertwining with each new encounter, we find ourselves reflecting on the fluid nature of our own understandings and beliefs. Allow yourself to drift into a world where ideas merge with the essence of being, inviting a serene contemplation of the webs we weave in the silent hours.This episode is hosted by Jessica Morgan.
