Metaphysical Idealism: Consciousness Studies with Dr. James B. Glattfelder

Implicit in the practice of science is a metaphysical belief that has hardly ever been scrutinized. However, inspired by the pressing challenges related to quantum mechanics and consciousness, more and more scholars are open to pondering radical new metaphysical ideas.
As a result, idealism, a consciousness-only view of reality, is witnessing a renaissance in science and philosophy. In this workshop, you will:
Discover the history of idealism
Be introduced to modern variations, including syncretic idealism
Be exposed to the defects of scientific metaphysics
Entertain the concept of empirical metaphysics
