Brian Thomas Swimme, cosmologist, in conversation with Bridget Sperduto of The Well, on January 18, 2023
The Well cosponsored this event with the Siena Center of Dominican University in River Forest, IL.
The discovery that the universe has been expanding from its fiery beginning fourteen billion years ago and has developed into stars, galaxies, life, and human consciousness is one of the most significant of human history. It is taught throughout the world and has become our common creation story for nearly every culture. If the evolution of the universe is one of the greatest discoveries of human history, it will have a profound impact on humanity. And yet, most philosophers and scientists do not explore the effects this discovery will have on our minds. This is the contribution of Brian Swimme.
In this conversation Brian tells the autobiographical story of how his modern, industrial mind was deconstructed by the impact of this new story and then reassembled anew in a developing universe. He offers a glimpse into how the discovery of cosmogenesis is transforming not only our understanding of life as we know it, but the history and evolution of human consciousness itself.
