Hunger for Wholeness
Story matters. Our lives are shaped around immersive, powerful stories that thrive at the heart of our religious traditions, scientific inquiries, and cultural landscapes. As Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein claimed, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. This podcast will hear from speakers in interdisciplinary fields of science and religion who are finding answers for how to live wholistic lives. This podcast is made possible by funding from the Fetzer Institute. We are very grateful for their generosity and support.

Hunger for Wholeness
How Do We Reconcile Good and Evil? with Matt Segall (Part 1)
Iila Delio and Gabbi Sloan interview Matt Segall on process theology and 'How do we reconcile good and evil?'
Matthew David Segall, Ph.D., is assistant professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA. He is the author of Physics of the World-Soul: Whitehead's Adventure in Cosmology (2021) and Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead (forthcoming). He is a multidisciplinary researcher focusing on applications of process philosophy across the natural and social sciences. He blogs regularly at footnotes2plato.com.
“Philosophy is a lifelong effort to transform oneself into an organ capable of apprehending the whole. This requires remaining in close dialogue with sciences, religions, politics, and the arts, always striving to understand how the partial perspectives these domains engender might hang together so as to guide and inspire wise action.”
