About this listen

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. John Patrick delves into the philosophical implications of reductionism, a phenomenon that has reshaped the Western world. He highlights how science excels at explaining the natural world but falls short in providing moral structure, citing the works of David Stove and C.S. Lewis. Dr. Patrick explores the critical distinction between objective reality and human desires, emphasizing how modern society seeks to conform reality to our desires through technique, rather than virtue.
