Sweeny vs Bard Season 2 Ep. 17: Logos, Mythos, and Pathos with John Vervaeke

A long awaited conversation between my favorite interlocutors, and two philosophical and visionary geniuses of our time—who, as I mention in the beginning—are opposite character types. Nevertheless, both men converge on certain views. Alexander is an aggressive provocateur with an amazing palate of ideas (the Camille Paglia of Sweden), and John is outrageously humble Canadian professor with an equally ambitious project.

Alexander lays out his religious history of the silk route triad, talks about Zoroastrianism, Heraclates, and the monist world view. John speaks about the monism of Plotinus and defends neo-platonism. We speak about the meaning of pathos, mythos, and logos—and the pathic nature of art. And so much much more.

John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas. What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas. His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents.
