ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode we finish Chapter III, continuing from the subsection "Some Motivations and Powers of the Model So Far", and sharing our reflections and amazements of what Gendlin has accomplished in merely twenty pages.
Joey and I have a terrible habit of having long, deep philosophical discussions before moving on to record our podcast episodes and doing even more philosophy. Starting at the four-hour mark of thinking really hard together, we hope you'll enjoy the somewhat looser, sillier flow of this episode we crest into our final hour of reading Chapter III with aplomb.
