Ep. 1 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Introduction

Caption notes

In the first lecture, John Vervaeke sets out three questions: what meaning in life is, why people seek it, and how they might cultivate the wisdom to recognize and realize it. He proposes bringing historical explanation and an account of cognitive processes into dialogue. He also distinguishes several kinds of knowing, contrasting holding a belief, knowing how to catch a ball, and knowing what it is like to participate in a relationship.
