This is the first half of a full talk which can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links for 4.95 a month or 60.00 per year. In this talk, I give a basic introduction to classical metaphysics and theology based on St. John of Damascus’ Fount of Knowledge: The Philosophical Chapters. We cover the seminal terms and concepts and how they relate to forming a proper worldview and critical thinking, and how the modern world has robbed us of this inheritance.

First, I know the sound quality is bad, this is my second or so interview from back in 2007. Lost on my old computer, a listener dug this up and sent it to me. New to the game at the time I was still experimenting but the information presented is excellent. Dr. Farrell and I discuss the hermetica. Neoplatonic conceptions of the aether, his Secrets of the Unified Field, hidden metaphysics, information theory, the topological metaphor and much more.

In Book VI of the Republic we begin to discover the deeper metaphysics of Plato, where geometry and mathematics provide the means by which the truth of the higher realms can be seen by analogy.  Socrates engages in a bitter critique of the sophists and their pseudo-philosophy of crowd-pleasing and beastly, herd-like nonsense, lacking any real philosophical education.  Rather, the true philosopher is spoken of as grasping the Noetic Light of the Good, the true Sun of the Intelligible realm.
