Beginning with Giordano Bruno’s idea of an infinite universe, we trace the psychological and philosophical shock that followed—where thinkers like Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and William James each attempted to rebuild meaning, morality, and purpose in radically different ways. From a mechanical universe with no divine intention to moral systems built on reason, suffering, power, or pragmatic action, this episode follows a 400-year struggle to answer one question: how do we live meaningfully in a universe that does not revolve around us? #Philosophy #Nietzsche #MeaningOfLife
