Gregg and Michael,

This was a delightful watch/listen!

Here are some quotes and concepts that seemed important to me:

"Meaning is the structuring of experience."
"Language allows us to represent and make intelligible our experience to ourselves and others."
"My experience is always richer than my conceptualizations."
INTER-SUBJECTIVITY
"Meaning crisis is the failure to have a shared sense of what is and ought collectively."
"Science informs what we do, it doesn't determine it."
"We can't look to (traditional) science to tell us what is good."
MORAL RELATIONALISM
Michael's values = justice, virtue, and care
Gregg's values = dignity, well-being, and integrity
"Common ground isn't found, it's created."

As you were discussing the second person and inter-subjectivity, I found myself wondering how you both would frame the in-utero experience of a fetus in relation to their mother.

Just grand!

Warmly,

Ali

Hi TOK Folks,

Please check out this UTOKing episode I did with Michael M. I really enjoyed it. We have always shared enormously respect and overlap in our positions, as well as some key differences. I felt more aligned than ever with Mike here as we clarified some key pieces regarding our various starting points when it comes to knowledge, science, meaning making and psychology. I think this is a great example of why dialogue/dialogos is so crucial.

Hope you enjoy it. I know I did.

Mike, thanks so much!

Gregg

Episode 45: UTOKing with Michael Mascolo January 31, 2022

Title: Psychology, the Academy, and the Meaning Crisis

In Episode 45, Gregg welcomes Dr. Michael Mascolo. He is a Professor of Psychology at Merrimack College, and a renowned scholar in developmental and relational approaches in psychology. Among his many accomplishments, he is author and editor of numerous books and over a hundred professional articles, as well as the Values Matter blog on Psychology Today. He is also founder of Creating Common Ground, and an Executive Member of the TOK Society. In this conversation, he shares with Gregg his analysis of how human meaning and experience are fundamentally intersubjective in nature and what this means for a science of psychology and, more broadly, the structure and function of the academy and the current meaning crisis.

Here is the episode on podbean. Here is Dr. Mascolo's Facebook page.
