Even God.
It's kind of wild actually.
Pageot offers what he calls a cognitive theory of everything, this lens for interpreting reality that kind of shakes things up, really challenges conventional thinking.
It's a huge departure from a purely scientific or materialist view, right?
Those views often see meaning as something we like project onto the world rather than something that's baked in.
Exactly.
And that leads us to Pagot's concept of vertical causality.
He contrasts it with what he calls horizontal causality, which is more like the cause and effect we see in the material world, like billiard balls bouncing around.
But vertical causality, that's the causality of identity and purpose.
Exactly.
Think about it.
You ask someone for a glass of water.
The reason you ask, the whole impetus for that action, it's not just about the physical movements involved.
It comes from a place of meaning and purpose, your thirst, your desire to drink.
Spot on, and this ties into another concept Peugeot borrows from Aristotle, the idea of the formal cause.
It's like a blueprint that tells us what something is meant to be, its inherent potential, not just how it behaves in the world.
And for Peugeot, this formal cause is deeply connected to vertical causality.
Pajot is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and he uses his faith to explore the concept of non-dualism, which is often associated with Eastern religions.
And this is where his perspective really starts to diverge from the norm.
