Professor of Philosophy Jim Vernon joins me for an amazing conversation where we dive deep into the mystical waters of consciousness, the reality of the world around us and how do we even know what we think is real or what we think we see is what we think we see? Is there a place for the paranormal in the world of historical thinkers and what in fact would be some of their positions on the existence of the unexplainable? So fun and inspiring to discuss these things with someone like Jim and I know you'll enjoy his incredible perspectives. 

Jim works broadly in Continental philosophy, with a focus on German Idealism (esp. Hegel) and recent French Philosophy (esp. Derrida, Badiou, and Deleuze), as well as in political theory, with an emphasis on the organic intellectuals of post-war Black Liberation movements in America (esp. Martin Luther King, The Black Panthers, Malcolm X, and Hip Hop culture). Current projects include a Hegelian explication and defence of the aesthetic and cultural practices surrounding the band Phish, and a monograph on the political theory and practice of Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party.
