Showing results for "Brian Williams" in Philosophy

With the lucid verve and solid scientific grounding of an Oliver Sacks or Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler guides listeners on a fascinating tour of the bedrock of our existence - the way our senses perceive everything and everyone in the world around us. Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a "bad feeling" about someone they've just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause non-psychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups.

Dr. Brian Williams is the dean of the Templeton Honors College at Eastern University and the editor of the Principia journal on classical education. This podcast is geared toward academics and professors wishing to explore and discuss the renewal of liberal arts education in our colleges and universities.
