Скачать или смотреть How Realities Are Made | Greg Anderson

Professor Greg Anderson explains how humans often think of reality as a fixed point or destiny. However, when we examine civilizations from different periods of time, we see that the way we engage with reality changes depending upon our founding principles. In this story, you will learn how the ancient Athenians built their societies upon traits that made the social bonds of society more important than individualism. His research also explores where humanity veered off of the path of social inclusion during the Enlightenment period as the powerful elite created a new system built on the values of capitalism. In this very insightful and beautiful story, Professor Anderson helps to put into clear focus the things that we could be doing right to help evolve in ways that are socially cohesive. Professor Anderson teaches History at Ohio State University.

In the next few minutes, I hope to change the way you think about the very nature of reality itself.

What is it that makes something real? For us, real things are material things, things made of matter that we can somehow see: like atoms, people, trees, mountains, planets. Invisible, immaterial things, like gods and demons, heavens and hells – these are considered unreal. To be real, a thing must exist objectively in some visible, material form.

What are the most important things in our real world? Answer? Human things: people, cities, societies, cultures, governments, economies. Non-human things to us are just parts of nature, a mere environment of things that we feel entitled to use however we want.

What does it mean to be a human in our real world? Well, it means being an individual, a person who lives ultimately for oneself. We think nature has made us this way, giving each and every one of us all of the reason, the rights, the freedom, and the self-interest to thrive and compete with other individuals for all of life’s important resources.

This real world of ours is neither timeless nor universal. It’s just one of countless different real worlds that humans have experienced in history.

What, then, would another world look like? Well, let’s look at one – the real world of the classical Athenians in ancient Greece.
