Metamodernism, Play, and Growth | A Conversation with Robert Kelley
The Functionally Imperative Podcast is dedicated to exploring play, creativity, and autotelic pursuits.
In this episode, I sit down with Robert Kelley Ayala on the Functionally Imperative Podcast to explore the emerging philosophical system of metamodernism. This episode navigates through various topics such as societal challenges, personal growth, the intricacies of modernism and postmodernism, and how to engage in a polarized world. Robert elaborates on metamodernism's foundations, its oscillation between opposing viewpoints, and its relevance to today's societal and individual development stages. Tune in for a deep dive into thought-provoking discussions around the evolution of society and individual self-determination. You should also check out Robert's Substack:
