Unlocking Ancient Minds: Metaphysics of Prehistoric Scotland
With a background in philosophy, archaeology, and education Dr. Philip Tonner has taught at a number of Universities and secondary schools across the UK, and he is currently a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's School of Education.
Regarding his recent book - Dwelling: Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality, one reviewer wrote "There really isn't any directly comparable book – it is unique," and in many ways so too is the following conversation.
In this episode we discuss the Phenomenology of archaeology in the context of palaeolithic and Neolithic cultures. Philip shares Heidegger's work on "Dwelling," a lifestyle in which agents were consumed by the practical needs of day to day living, where the modern thresholds between mind and body, or thought and action, were nonexistent.
This discussion presents an enthralling liminal voyage into ancient mind and cognition through the perspectives of Heidegger, and the interpretations and expansions of Dr. Philip Tonner.
