 🗣 Bernardo Kastrup (Essentia Foundation)

⏰ Wednesday 27 March, 8PM CET (7PM GMT, 3PM EST, 11AM PST)

📍 Online (OPEN Community Platform)

Join Bernardo Kastrup, Ph.D. in Philosophy and Computer Engineering, Founder of the Essentia Foundation, for an exclusive presentation on analytic idealism, followed by a live Q&A session!

Analytic Idealism posits that reality fundamentally consists of experiences. It represents a specific expression of Idealism, drawing inspiration from post-enlightenment principles such as conceptual simplicity, coherence, internal logical coherence, explanatory capability, and empirical adequacy.

Prepare questions regarding Bernardo Kastrup’s work, including his unique perspectives on consciousness and reality, as well as his insights into the role of psychedelics in understanding these concepts. Explore the potential challenges and criticisms that his metaphysical framework might face, and delve into upcoming directions in consciousness studies.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Bernardo Kastrup 2024 4

Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the ‘Casimir Effect‘ of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). He has also had a 25-year career in high-technology, having co-founded parallel processing company Silicon Hive (acquired by Intel in 2011) and worked as a technology strategist for the geopolitically significant company ASML, for 15 years.

Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, Bernardo’s ideas have been featured on Scientific American, the Institute of Art and Ideas, the Blog of the American Philosophical Association and Big Think, among others. Bernardo’s 11th book, coming in 2024, is Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell: A straightforward summary of the 21st-century’s only plausible metaphysics.
