[SydPhil] SBS Podcast Series: Rethinking South Asian Philosophy, Episode 3

[Bhanuraj Kashyap]

Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),

I am pleased to share the next episode of my podcast series, Rethinking South Asian Philosophy, created in collaboration with SBS Spice<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/K0WjC81V0PTPlyZplinf8FyCntv?domain=sbs.com.au>. SBS Spice is a digital platform hosted for and by South Asians, presented by the national broadcaster SBS<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/3cPiC91WPRTNvwgEvcEhjFqJ6kb?domain=sbs.com.au>.

The series explores a range of topics and emerging conversations in South Asian philosophy as practised and discussed both in Australia and by philosophers working in or originating from the region. It is aimed at both philosophers and a wider general audience.

Episode 3, Rethinking South Asian Philosophy: Where Meditation Becomes Insight, is now available online.

Abstract

How does meditation generate psychological benefits? Can deep meditative experiences inform philosophical insight? In our third episode of this series, I speak with Assoc. Prof. Bronwyn Finnigan (ANU) and Dr. Leesa Davis (Deakin) about Buddhist philosophical approaches to meditation, non-dual philosophical thought, and the aesthetic and contemplative aspects of Japanese dry gardens. We also talk about the fun and joy of introducing undergraduate students to non-Western philosophical traditions, and its importance in reviving philosophy curriculum in Australian universities.
