๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Beyond Materialism: Consciousness, Morality, and the Structure of Reality โ€“ The Deeper Thinking Podcast

Can the mysteries of consciousness, morality, and the fine-tuning of the universe be fully explained by materialism? This episode explores Thomas Nagelโ€™s critique of the dominant scientific worldview, questioning whether the universe is more than just a collection of blind physical processes. If the mind, ethical truth, and the very structure of reality point to something beyond materialism, what could that mean for the future of science and philosophy?
