Schizo-autistic Philosophy, Ponerology and the Deranged View of Humanity
An Episode of MindMatters as Prelude
My next post will focus on what Lobaczewski calls the “schizoidal worldview” and what Iain McGilchrist refers to as “schizo-autistic” philosophy (in The Matter with Things). In the meantime, today I will share an episode of my podcast, MindMatters, as background for that post, in which we discuss the subject:
Thanks Harrison - I love this discussion - Lobaczewski and McGilchrist are on the same page here and it's wonderfully rich to integrate both perspectives.
I wonder if you'd be able to get McGilchrist on your podcast? That would be a great show!
Thanks for sharing! I thought the point on Machiavelli being deliberately maligned was particularly interesting. After reading the title I immediately thought of Adam Curtis' "The Trap" which I watched over a decade ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trap_(British_TV_series) It does a good job of covering John Nash's work and indicating that it might be somewhat limited in its application for the reasons you describe here (all left hemisphere).
