Goethian Science Reveals a Hidden World - Austin Abigt, Renewal of Science - DSPod #304

Austin Abigt is a philosopher, writer, and one of the key members
of the of the Renewal of Science movement, which seeks to chart a
path for scientific rebirth. In this conversation, Abigt explains
how modern science is the product of two distinct philosophical
lineages - one founded by Newton and Descartes, the other by
Goethe. The Newtonian paradigm, roughly summarized by "shut up
and calculate" has been invaluable for the development of the
modern world, but Abigt argues that its ability to keep moving us
forward to a deeper and deeper understanding of nature is
inherently limited. To be able to make progress, we have to turn
to the alternative scientific thread, the Goethian one, that
advocates for a more holistic approach to nature. Rather than
demanding a single story, Abigt argues that it's time to embrace
the inherent complexity of nature. PATREON: get episodes early +

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
