Dear Friends of Developmental Philosophy,

We’re excited to share our latest video in which Steve McIntosh presents the deeper philosophical dimensions of his new book, Truth Emerging. This live presentation to our monthly Zoom group (Steve’s second book talk) includes audience Q&A at the end. The video discusses the key philosophical innovations that empower Developmental Philosophy to serve as a lever for social progress. These insights include what Steve calls “the physics of value,” which sheds new light on the evolution of consciousness and culture.
