Dialectical Science and Why AI Research Needs Continental Philosophy (w/ Tim Elmo Feiten)
Dr Tim Elmo Feiten is a philosopher of science with a focus on the sciences of life, mind, and artificial intelligence. His work brings the history and philosophy of science into dialogue with other fields, especially continental and Classical German philosophy. He has used the philosophy of embodied cognitive science to develop new readings of Jakob von Uexküll and Max Stirner and to ask questions about the relationships between art, science, technology, and society. Dr Feiten is currently an Assistant Teaching Professor at Penn State University and did his PhD at the University of Cincinnati. In this episode, we discuss how subjective experience remains a deep philosophical and scientific problem, how continental philosophy can be used in AI and cognitive science research and how science is essentially dialectical.

Phenomenology, Mathematics & Dreydegger (w/ Jeffrey Yoshimi & Darius Parvizi-Wayne)
Prof Jeffrey Yoshimi is a professor in the departments of Cognitive and Information Sciences and Philosophy at UC Merced. He studies the relationship between the dynamics of consciousness and the dynamics of neural activity in an embodied brain. As part of this, Prof Yoshimi models neural networks, creates mathematical models of embodied agents and studies Husserl.
Darius Parvizi-Wayne is a PhD student at Macquarie University, exploring the relationship between absorbed coping, being-in-the-world, subjectivity and active inference. He was also the host of the Active Inference Insights podcast, which is affiliated with the Active Inference Institute.
Husserl was famously critical of the "mathematizing tendencies" of modern science. However, Prof Jeffrey Yoshimi and Darius Parvizi-wayne contend that mathematical methods are apt for phenomenology, and, in fact, Husserl himself used them. In this episode, we discuss the flow states through the active inference framework, Hubert Dreyfus' reading of Heidegger and the relationship between phenomenology and mathematics.

Emily Qureshi Hurst: The Theology of Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics
Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst is a Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College and a College Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College in Oxford. Dr Qureshi-Hurst completed a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Oxford in Science and Religion (2021). Her thesis examined the theoretical support for a B-theory of time provided by special and general relativity, and re-interpreted Paul Tillich's doctrine of salvation in light of this metaphysical temporal model. In 2022, Cambridge University Press published her first book exploring these themes: 'God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime'. Her second book on this topic, 'Salvation in the Block Universe: Time, Tillich, and Transformation', will be published in the second half of 2024. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between modern physics and religion, theories of time and the theology of Paul Tillich.
