YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA spicy episode, where personalities clash and merge and evolve into something new...appropriate for our guest, Dr. Ralph Piedmont, a personality psychologist who teaches at Johns Hopkins and has created a personality scale focused on meaning and the numinous. We talk/argue/agree/disagree about the nature of intelligence in animals and humans, and move towards understanding human narcissism, spiritual connectivity, and hope. It's a wild ride worth taking!
You can download a preprint of Ralph's most recent book chapter here
In our conversation we mention IRAS (Institute on Religion in the Age of Science)
Also Paul Tillich's works, for example, The Courage to Be
Also Emmanuel Levinas
