He has authored the book, A New Unified Theory of Psychology and developed a popular blog on Psychology Today, Theory of Knowledge, where he has authored over 350 essays on psychology, philosophy, politics, and mental health. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, has won numerous awards for teaching, scholarship, and service, and launched and leads the Theory of Knowledge academic society.

Here is the fifth of our ‘reinventio’ series—the latin word which means to both invent and discover.  We discuss the purpose and function of philia or sacred friendship, how a real friend differs from ordinary ‘buddies’ or ‘colleagues’.  One of the most touching and deep conversations I’ve had with these amazing scholars, human beings, and friends.

I was first  introduced to Christopher Mastropietro by Peter Limberg for his series on Letter.com. Christopher is John Vervaeke’s writing and research partner and co-author of ‘Zombies in Western Culture: A Twentieth Century Crisis’.  A great book which I have used for undergraduate classes in Paris. Chris is among other things an amazing wordsmith who writes and speaks like an 19th Century Henry James/Herman Melville!

Owen Cox and Daniel Fraga are the visionaries behind Techosocial, where they interview leading thinkers from the fringes of the internet, exploring how new technologies will reshape human societies and allow humans to redesign themselves.  Me and Tom Amarque are working to make Parallax a new platform for great young thinkers such as these guys.  We had a wonderful introductory conversation about the new paradigm, the current psycho-spiritual landscape, and how to escape the dying structures of a fallen world.    

J.P. Marceau is a philosopher and editor at Johnathan Pageau's 'The symbolic world':  He is also part of John Vervaeke's 'Voices with Vervaeke' series.
