Engage in a deep exploration of multi-generational perspectives, personal journeys, and the quest for life’s meaning with Peter Bolland of Southwestern College.
Meet Peter Bolland, the Philosophy and Humanities Department Chair at Southwestern College, and embark on a profound conversation.
Today’s song “ You're Never Alone” can be found on Peter’s “Wire” album here https://peterbolland.bandcamp.com/album/wire
Peter shares his journey from a non-religious upbringing to studying various religions and philosophies in college, ultimately majoring in religious studies.
He and Ron then delve into generational and cultural divides, and emphasize that, despite our many differences, people of all ages share a common desire for fulfillment and healing. Peter views religions, philosophies, and mythologies as modalities that address these fundamental human needs.
The discussion also touches upon the presence of unprocessed grief, the constant renegotiation of societal “norms”, and the timeless quest for meaning. In addition, Peter's passion for music and philosophy emerges as he explores the common thread that runs through various philosophical and religious traditions. A profound conversation indeed!
