Freedom to be - on the dialogue between Iain McGilchrist & Rowan Williams
About this episode
Iain McGilchrist and Rowan Williams were in dialogue on Friday 19th February 2021, a beautiful exchange that was sadly not recorded.
Here I offer some thoughts on it, particularly in the light of reflections offered by Matt Segall.
It concerns transcendence and immanence, being and becoming, eternity and processes in space and time - or to put it another way, the similarities and differences between the ontologies of Plato and AN Whitehead.
Matt's reflections are online here - https://youtu.be/znoNfagDeUo
