Philosophy Unveiled
About this original series
How does one explain the ordered complexity of the mind? What better way to find out than explore philosophy, distill all the latest research in neurology and throw in a bit of psychology and sociology? The brains behind this channel attempt to do just that. A bit of a tall order? Yes, we think so too! Let's work as a community to get to the bottom of some of these timeless issues. We've presented our thoughts. What do YOU say? These podcasts are brought to you by the masterminds behind the heavyweight texbook All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity which can be downloaded at www.cognitivestyles.com.

#18 Heidegger's World - Dasein and Diamonds
Welcome to Episode 18 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today.In the last episode, we demonstrated that the brain is capable of discovering science. We saw that the scientific method involves a kind of cascading analysis through three critical loops – Observation, Reflection and iNtuition. We examined the interaction of these circuits with other loops such as Thinking and Understanding. We also introduced three distinct ways in ...

#16 Neurology of Dreams and Visions
Welcome to episode 16 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today.We saw in the last episode that mental energy is based in a cognitive strategy which is not easily noticed by today’s psychologists. We suggested that the health of this strategy, which we call Exhorter thought, is critical to the normal functioning of the mind. Overactivation of this form of thought, from within its location in the orbitofrontal lobe of the brain, ca...

#15 Neurology of Parkinson's Disease
Welcome to episode 15 of the series Philosophy Unveiled. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today.In the last three episodes, we began with a profile for the cognitive style of Contributor. We then presented evidence for two Contributor traits from history – in particular, we looked at the Contributor’s tendency to minimize personal expenses, and at his desire for control. We saw that control excluded some people completely, and then separated others into the two categories of partners, or a...

#14 Contributor Control - Partners or Pawns
Welcome to episode 14 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today.In the last episode, we demonstrated from history that the Contributor minimizes personal expenses, and eliminates meaningless small talk. I’d now like to take the very same mix of persons we introduced in the previous session, and illustrate another very different trait. It’s something that all of them also had in common. Our focus this time will be on control. To pr...

Welcome to episode 13 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today.In the last episode, we gave a brief overview of some typical Contributor traits. In this episode, I’d like to illustrate further traits of this cognitive style, as we discovered them.Here’s the plan. I’ll give a trait. Then, I’ll read a series of quotes that illustrate that trait. Before reading a quote about some person, I’ll say his or her name. I’d like to emphasi...

Transcript Philosophy Unveiled 12Welcome to episode 12 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. I’m Rachel and I’m doing the reading today. In the last few episodes, we discussed the findings of psychology, as developed in particular by Isabel Briggs Myers, and we suggested that the fixed element in this scheme of 16 personality types was cognitive style, as we uncovered it from history. We suggested further that her 16 types are neurological pathways through the hippocam...

Jung felt that he could ‘see’ two sides to his personality. Sometimes he was Extraverted, h...

Transcript Philosophy Unveiled 10Just a comment, before we start. If you like examples and historical background before theory, then you might prefer to listen to episode 11 before you come back to this one. This episode is brutally technical, so if you like to get a Big Picture, and appreciate diving into abstract theory, then this episode is for you.-------Welcome to episode 10 of the series Philosophy Unveiled, by the author Lane Friesen. This is Rachel, and I’m doing the reading today. In ...
