The embryo in us: A deep dive into questions about the meaning of human existence - Jaap van der Wal

from The Soft Rebellion Podcast · host Flurina Thali

In this fascinating episode, I am joined by Dr. Jaap van der Wal, Ph.D., a medical doctor and renowned expert in embryology and anatomy. Gradually, he developed into a teacher of philosophy of science and medical anthropology and today he calls his teaching “Embryosophy” as he finds in the embryo tentative answers to questions about the meaning of human existence. Jaap van der Wal has been a teacher of mine in the past and I follow his work with deep respect, admiration and fascination. Whilst feeling very nervous (and aware of the vastness of this topic and my yet little “knowledge”) it was such a delight to talk with him about the Embryo. We were all embryos once, right? This episode guides us to really deeply appreciate that!The Soft Rebellion is she who awakens to the embryo within her, acknowledges that her being is an embryonic way of life, her adult body a process, always, and allows those forces to keep shaping her being. And dreams.
