What can the Indian dualist philosophy of Sāṃkhya teach us about matter and consciousness?

In this captivating episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between matter and consciousness as articulated in Sāṃkhya, a key tradition of Indian philosophy. Joined by special guest Dr. Tuhin Bhattacharjee, whose expertise spans ancient Greek and Indian texts, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis, we consider the interconnectedness of gender and metaphysics, setting the stage for broader discussions of matter and consciousness in both Western and non-Western philosophical traditions.

The episode concludes with a lively exchange focusing on the implications of philosophy as a generative practice. The group reflects on how Indian traditions can inform modern philosophical debates, particularly around ethics, materiality, and the politics of recognition. This conversation invites listeners to reconsider dominant narratives in philosophy and encourages them to engage with underexplored intellectual terrains that illuminate shared human concerns. Grab a drink and settle in for a mind-expanding dialogue that bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary thought!
