Ep. 8: Where Humans Always Already Are
<p>Contemplation is something we tend to think of ancient Greek philosophers or medieval monks doing, not as something a modern person would do unless they were especially religious or erudite. In this episode, Ellen invites us to consider that contemplation may actually belong to all of us, like a birthright, and that it may bring a happiness and freedom we might have been seeking elsewhere. After exploring the meaning of the word--from modern day usage, to a 12th century Scotsman's formulation, to the word's Latin and Greek origins--Ellen suggests a few simple ways we can all start to incorporate contemplation into our busy, modern, perhaps secular lives. </p> <p>To learn more about First Creatures, visit <a href= "https://firstcreatures.com">firstcreatures.com</a>. </p>

Ep. 7: Time without a face
<p>What time is it? That such a bizarre question has become commonplace shows how thoroughly we have internalized the clock and accepted it as reality. It's hard to think of time in any way other than minutes and seconds, which has made us as a species incredibly productive (and a bit neurotic) over the last several centuries. In this episode, Ellen explores how this miraculous invention took hold of our minds, and how we might wriggle free. </p> <p> </p> <p>References:</p> <p>Technics and Civilization (1934) by Lewis Mumford</p> <p>Revolution in Time (1983) by David S. Landes</p> <p>The Relevance of the Beautiful (1977) by Hans-Georg Gadamer</p> <p>Cello Concerto in B minor, op. 104 (1895) by Antonín Dvořák</p> <p> </p> <p>More info: https://firstcreatures.com/podcast</p>
