Bernardo Kastrup Book Club

Our agenda for this meeting is to discuss the first few chapters of “Ways of Attending” by Iain McGilchrist, which is a summarised version of his much longer book “The Mater and his Emissary”. They are very short, so it will just be a few pages. These are:

• Introduction
• The Master and his Emissary
• The difference between the hemispheres
• The divided brain and the Evolution of Language
• The nature of attention

A pdf of the text will be sent to members by email.

This session will happen on Tuesday, 20th of June, at 7 pm UK time.

Warm regards,

Nour

We are a book club that runs discussions once every two weeks on Tuesdays at 7 pm GMT online, where we discuss the works of Bernardo Kastrup and other texts and ideas related to metaphysical idealism. We have diverse members from many different countries, backgrounds and interests who have come to share an interest in Bernardo Kastrup’s idealism, and we are always eager to welcome new members. 

We have previously interviewed Bernardo Kastrup and Philip Goff as a book club and intend to host more interviews in the future! Please find links to the two interviews mentioned below.

If you would like to join these informal yet invigorating conversations, please register your name and email address and tell us a little about yourself and why you’d like to join our group. You'll be sent the Zoom link to join the next session.

About the host
 

Hi, I’m Nour. I’m a Theoretical Physicist currently pursuing my master’s in London, and I’ll be hosting the sessions. I founded this book club in August 2020 after meeting a few people interested in Bernardo Kastrup’s work through a course with him that was running at the time with the psychedelic society. I am intrigued by questions in the Philosophy of Mind and desire to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of reality and the meaning of life. I have found these lovely people to share my interests. I’m always looking forward to meeting new people and hearing new points of view.
