Are we all in a shared dream? Is the world that we perceive truly the world as it is? Dr. Tony Nader sits down with Dr. Bernardo Kastrup to discuss Idealism and the Nature of Ultimate Reality. The world we generally take to be real is only one version of the world, the one our senses and our minds allow us to experience, and that experience is different for every single human being. Do you think we’re stuck within the limitations of our senses, which can only deliver impressions within the range that they were designed to recognize?
Dr. Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Dr. Kastrup has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories, where the ‘Casimir Effect’ of Quantum Field Theory was discovered. His books have explored topics such as Carl Jung, Schopenhauer, the nature of reality, and why materialism is baloney. His ideas have been featured on ‘Scientific American,’ the ‘Institute of Art and Ideas,’ the ‘Blog of the American Philosophical Association’ and ‘Big Think,’ among others.
