Platonism & the Metaphysical Solution to the Crises of Modernity with Hasan Spiker
Summary
Hassan Spiker argues that modernity’s crises stem from five Western bifurcations, including the split between faith and reason. He contends that Platonism offers a metaphysical solution by affirming objective reality and the intelligibility of the world. Spiker explains how the Reformation’s rejection of reason led to secularization and a mechanistic view of nature. The episode explores how Islamic metaphysics can counter these trends by grounding ethics and knowledge in extra-mental reality.
