Listen "Episode 23 - Dialectics"
Episode Synopsis
Talk given in Manchester, UK, on 29th May 1977.
"...it is always possible to know more and we’ll see that if anyone thinks it’s not possible to know more when you know all there is to know, that person is an idolater. He has come to rest on a formulation of some kind and in so doing he has actually, by his identification with a finite formulation, stopped his own further evolution. The reason for that is that the ultimate reality is a power which is infinite and therefore capable of infinite modulations, of infinite creativity so that you are not seeking in the world to find the solution of a problem which is solvable because there is no finitude about that power."
Referencing Heraclitus, Socrates, Plato, Hegel and others, Eugene describes the dialectical process, whereby any ordinary man or woman can become a philosopher-king.
