“There is more reason in your body than in your deepest wisdom,” Nietzsche wrote in his Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
Our current FPO Fellow, Jes Heppler, explores what kind of wisdom our body offers in her dissertation on “Gut Feelings and Embodied Epistemology.”
In this new podcast episode, Jes and Reinhard discuss her dissertation project as well as the question of what kind of knowledge the body provides. Together, they dive into what gut feelings really are, where they come from, how the body’s wisdom challenges the mind-body divide, and to what extent Nietzsche’s intuition is true.
