Bernardo Kastrup: Aligning with Nature’s Will, Eastern vs Western Spirituality, & Understanding Evil

Dr. Bernardo Kastrup is a philosopher, scientist, and author whose work challenges mainstream materialism. With a background in computer engineering and a Ph.D. in philosophy, he has become one of the world's leading advocates for metaphysical idealism—the view that consciousness, not matter, is the fundamental reality of the universe. In this conversation, we explore some of the key ideas from Bernardo’s latest book, "The Daimon and the Soul of the West," including: — The key differences between the Western and Eastern Mind — The relationship between context and meaning in life, and how powerful it can be to recognise the ancestral lineage within you. — The concept of the daimon—an impersonal force of nature that expresses itself through us — How confronting death and our relationship with evil can lead to greater wisdom and authenticity — Why the second half of life requires a completely different approach than the first. And more. You can learn more about Bernardo’s work at https://www.bernardokastrup.com. — Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation.
