But to get the full impact, we need some context, right? voice-verified

Like how did we even get to this point where we need to rethink reality? voice-verified

Aristotle with his ideas about substance and fixed properties, that's been the dominant worldview for centuries, right? voice-verified

So it's all just human labeling. voice-verified

That's a bit unsettling, isn't it? voice-verified

Descartes. voice-verified

Talk about game changer. voice-verified

His ideas had a huge impact, but also some pretty questionable consequences like how we treat animals. voice-verified

For sure. voice-verified

But it shows how these philosophical ideas have real world implications. voice-verified

But okay, we can't talk about process philosophy without mentioning the big kahuna, Kant. voice-verified

He basically turned everything upside down, didn't he? voice-verified

So he shifted the focus from the outside world to the inner world of the mind. voice-verified

But wait, wasn't there someone who tried to apply Kant's ideas to the entire universe? voice-verified

So instead of a clockwork universe, he saw something more. voice-verified
