The Immateriality Of The Mind | Edward Feser

This was one of the lectures from our 2019 Summer Science Conference, "Novelty in Nature: Scientific and Philosophical Understanding of Flux and Chance in the Natural World." For more info about upcoming TI events, visit: www.thomisticinstitute.org/events

Conference Theme:
Modern science consistently presents us with new and surprising truths about the natural world, particularly about how new things come to be, whether stars and galaxies, plants and animals, or chemical and physical structures. In many ways this creativity and flux in nature might seem antithetical to the classical picture of nature that Aquinas inherited from Aristotle. The theme for the second annual Thomistic Institute symposium on modern science and Thomistic philosophy, “Novelty in Nature: Scientific and Philosophical Understanding of Flux and Change in the Natural World,” touches on this question. Expert scientists and philosophers will discuss whether Thomistic philosophy is compatible with our modern scientific view of nature and how the two might enrich one another. The symposium is primarily intended for graduate students in the sciences and the philosophy of science and will include introductory sessions on basic of Thomistic philosophy of nature in its own day and in the history of science.

Celuk'buza is a very calming and peaceful song about a guy who begs for a girl's attention and is trying by all means to find a way into her heart. So, he works for it.

I took https://soundcloud.com/mattmadd/duo-jet-no-34-in-a-minor-disquiet0473
which was a duet between https://soundcloud.com/ChrisLedwidge and https://soundcloud.com/mattmadd and added some field recordings that were treated a bit.

Walk in the forest in the am in a-minor - Disquiet0474

building on these tracks: https://soundcloud.com/bick-brannigan and https://soundcloud.com/la_el/lonely-late-90s-boy-gets

took it back to the 80s with some ibanez hd1000 as a "hard reverb" recorded to tape, played back through the hd1000 as an octave up effect. tried to sinc up the reverbed and the octaved tracks but the tape didn't play back at the same speed every time (and I did some manual wobbles of the varispeed). Added some flanger with valhalla space modulator to give some stereo width to the pitch shifted track.
