Episode description

In this conversation I host Alexander Bard and Alexander Elung to discuss the philosophy of "transcendental emergentism" and its relation to the future of philosophy, science and community.  Transcendental emergentism is a notion that attempts to escape both simplistic reductions to scientific materialism, and also overly-naive holistic interpretations of supernatural ideality.  This is possible because what is "transcendent" (beyond or above normal human experience) is something that "emerges" from our very historical process.  Thus, we seek to see the way in which this philosophy can have relevance to, among other things, the notion of "tribal singularity" (i.e. the collective process of transcending what we today consider to be the human being).
