0:04.0 | I'm your host, Kelly Chase. First of all, I just want to thank everyone who |
0:38.6 | reached out with your thoughts and feedback after the last interview with Dr. Diana Walsh |
0:42.6 | Vesalka. It was such a privilege to be able to share that conversation with you all, and I'm |
0:47.3 | thrilled to see how deeply it resonated. Because so many people expressed an interest in Plato's |
0:53.1 | cave specifically and in a more philosophical |
0:55.5 | approach to UFOs in general, I thought it was the perfect time to bring in my friend, Dr. James Madden, |
1:01.6 | to dive into these topics a little further. Dr. Madden is professor of philosophy at Benedictine |
1:07.3 | University. He's a martial artist, fitness coach, and philosopher with a particular |
1:11.7 | interest in the philosophy of mind, aesthetics, philosophy of religion, aristotelianism, |
1:17.2 | and phenomenology. If you'll recall from the last episode, Diana mentioned Dr. Madden as someone |
1:22.7 | who shared her spooky interpretation of the cave. I first met Jim when he was a speaker in one of Diana's |
1:29.0 | classes over the summer on this subject, and I really enjoyed learning from him. He has a really |
1:34.1 | coherent way of placing the cave within its proper context, both within Plato's Republic |
1:39.2 | and within its historical context, that opens up these ideas in inspiring and challenging ways. |
1:46.1 | So that's where we'll start with an hour-long deep dive into Plato's cave and what it |
1:50.9 | implies for the nature of both reality and the UFO phenomenon. And then in the second half of |
1:56.9 | the interview, we'll turn to Dr. Madden's latest philosophical work with regard to the phenomenon, |
2:02.4 | including what Heidegger reveals to us about the life and work of Godfather of modern |
2:07.6 | euphology, Jacques Foulet, what Aristotle's natural theology suggests about the potential |
2:13.6 | nature of non-human intelligence, and how that work is being continued in the modern day |
