Episode 6 - Olga Louchakova-Schwartz

In this episode, we speak with Olga Louchakova-Schwartz, President of the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience and Professor Emerita at Sofia University. Trained in phenomenological philosophy, medicine, and neuroscience, her work brings together philosophy of religion, comparative metaphysics, and cognitive science (see olgalouchakova.com). Her research explores what makes experience religious or spiritual and how such experience shapes the self, embodiment, and cognition. It was a pleasure to speak with her about the phenomenology of religious experience and its wider philosophical and practical implications.
