Dr. Ursula Goodenough and the Sacred Depths of Nature - Part Two

In this part-two of three we continue our conversation with Dr. Ursula Goodenough. Dr. Goodenough is a molecular biologist whose many distinctions include being an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.  The long-awaited second edition of her beloved book, The Sacred Depths of Nature is being released by the University of Oxford Press in early 2023.

In her case, it is through the paradigm of Religious Naturalism. The key to this perspective is reference to, and reverence for, the epic, all-encompassing story of the cosmos, also known as Big History. In this episode we explore the emergence and function of biological membranes and how they have effects at larger social scales.
