THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN (Ep. 11) - w/Dr. CD & Guest Parjanya Joshi - TRANSCENDING DUALITIES

A PHILOSOPHICAL JOURNEY TRANSCENDING DUALITIES

My next guest is Parjanya Joshi, a PhD student of philosophy at the University of South Florida. He pursued his studies in his homeland of Mumbai, India, as well as in Canada before coming to America. We initially connected on Twitter through our shared interests in philosophy and martial arts.

The main focus of our conversation revolved around providing an explanation of non-dualism and its relationship to Buddhism, the Dao, and martial arts. Throughout our discussion, we took pauses to draw connections between philosophical concepts and real-life experiences, as well as explore the limitations that hinder our progress. Some of the topics we covered included distinguishing between rebirth and reincarnation and their implications for morality and virtue. We also delved into the notion of the illusory self and the intricacies of the relationship between being and non-being. If you're seeking a philosophical journey, you've come to the right place.
