Ep. 221 - We Might All Be Living in God's Dream (Hasidic Idealism) w/Dr. Samuel Lebens

In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Samuel Lebens to discuss Hassidic Idealism, the view that we are characters in God's dream. He uses this motif to help understand Kabbalistic understandings of sefirot-- and if you have no clue what that means then definitely watch the episode! We also get into the Authorial Analogy for the God-World relation and how that idea compares with theistic idealism.  If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $3, $5 or more a month.
