He\u2019s authored a number of books on philosophy of mind from the vantage point of Aristotelian metaphysics which made up the bulk of our discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Bill and I got acquainted through my book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Meta-Questions-Just-Uncommon-Exchange\/dp\/1532603479\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Meta<\/em><\/a> which I co-wrote with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/daylightatheism\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Lee<\/a>. Bill was nice enough to write the foreword and tee up my and Adam\u2019s dialogue on the big questions.<\/p>\n<p>In this podcast, Bill and I discuss his background and academic interests and some of the big questions like God\u2019s existence, morality, consciousness, free-will, and the nature of abstract objects. Bill nicely laid out the hylomorphic worldview in contrast to materialism and dualism \u2013 and how each of these metaphysical worldviews tackles the big questions. I really appreciated his perspectives, specifically with consciousness, which is his major area of research, but also on Aristotelian metaphysics in general and how that worldview tackles the big questions.<\/p>\n<p>So please, enjoy the conversation between yours truly and William Jaworski.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode 3 is here!
