to have faith is to act, yet to think is too doubt. Faith and doubt and courage to affirm either in a choice are the three pillars of Zen. The meaning of life is to stay alive. The meaning of the life of the mind is to stay alive. The mind builds maps of order by a valuing ability of the mind. yes and no to things.
The active consciousness and the passive consciousness. It is the instinct of valuation.

Consciousness is a blackboard that waits to contain ideas, but there are a priori elements.

Did anyone else think of Battlestar Galactica when he talked about what if everyone else is an android?

All of Robert Solomon's lectures are incredible. I highly recommend them from The Teaching Company; they sell many of his audiolectures.

I've been writing an essay on Sartre's relevance to modern Psychology and this was very useful and insightful. Thank you for posting!

I assumed I would only listen for a few minutes or so, but it was so engrossing I listened to the end; a brilliant lecture!

I'm pretty sure this is from The Teaching Company's "No Excuses" audio tape.
