This episode explores the intersections of Trinitarian theology, psychology, epistemology, and embodiment. After we spend a few glorious moments pondering the potential advantages and dangers of providing alcohol to athletes, Ryan gives us a brief introduction to Thomas’ psychological analogy and its importance to systematic theology. This frames our discussion of how meaning is experienced by embodied, self-present, knowing subjects. The givenness of such experience is central to Jon’s 2016 article, “Insight is a Body-Feeling: Experiencing our Understanding,” and we spend the majority of our episode exploring the implications of Jon’s arguments in this essay. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.
