About this listen

These Fools are thrilled to welcome special guest Krishnan Venkatesh, a philosophy professor at St. John’s College in Santa Fe, NM and formative member of St. John’s Eastern Classics Graduate Program. A rich discussion starts out with whether there are core differences between Eastern and Western philosophy, and touches on many topics, including the influence of Eastern thought on American thinkers like HD Thoreau, fragmentation of society, the meaning of having a “philosophical practice” and the mind-body connection, the advent of artificial intelligence, the value of listening well and how that skill is developed, and the role of language in meaning-making and reality itself.
