Xavier Zubiri's Radical Realism (Xavier Zubiri's Sentient Intelligence Episode 3)
"Again, primordial apprehension is the most basic apprehension humans experience. It is just raw stimulation. We experience this as babies before we can even form concepts about the world. And this is what makes Zubiri’s philosophy radically realist, for before we even attempt to rationalize the world by forming concepts about it, the way our minds are shaped are totally dependent upon things like the diets of our pregnant mothers, the environments we are born into, and how our parents/teachers educate us in our earliest days. Of course, all species participate in primordial apprehension. What makes humans unique, though, is our ability to connect these raw stimulations into a network of interrelated stimuli, which we will talk about next episode."
Xavier Zubiri is a little-known Spanish philosopher who sought to develop a realist Metaphysics that accounted for a dynamic universe. His expertise and critiques of prior Western philosophical paradigms ultimately led him to craft a systematic philosophy that perhaps synthesized all the best elements of each school of thought, whilst correcting for their respective errors. In this series, Will Deatherage explores his seminal work, Sentient Intelligence.
