Psy-Phi Dialogues
The Series Continues
This Thursday at 8:30am PDT / 11:30 EDT / 15:30 UTC, my friend Adrian Lory and I will hold the third in our series of live conversations about psychology and philosophy. Inspired by my friend Dave Jilk’s SF novel Epoch, which is subtitled “A Poetic Psy-Phi Saga”, Adrian and I have decided to name this series the “Psy-Phi Dialogues”, where “psy” is short for psychology and “phi” is short for philosophy. Clever, eh? My friend Dave is very creative. :-)
As Adrian has already pointed out at his Substack blog, potential topics for this third conversation include the marketing and media portrayal (or is it distortion?) of psychological theories and philosophical schools, whether it’s healthy to self-identify as a follower of particular thinkers or isms, the nature of psychological diagnosis, the path from diagnosis to therapeutic healing, and the nature of happiness according to the philosophical tradition (with some sneak previews into my rapidly progressing book about Aristotle), sprinkled here and there with connections to the practice and experience of music.
We’re looking forward to it and we hope you are, too!
