Jeremy Johnson of EL interviews cultural historian William Irwin Thompson for a fascinating discussion about the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, digital culture and planetary crisis.

Thompson is the author of many books including The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light, Coming into Being: Artifacts and Texts in the Evolution of Consciousness, and Self and Society.

He is the founder of the Lindisfarne Association, a fellowship of scientists, economists, poets and scholars dedicated to articulating the emerging planetary human society.

  • Very informative interview with one of the 20th century's greatest thinkers. Congrats on getting the interview. I am currently working on a vlog series on YouTube analyzing parts of his work in his 2nd book "At The Edge Of History" a book that changed my life.

  • Thompson's "Darkness and Scattered Light" was a cornerstone in my life. Thanks for this!

  • Thank you, William and Jer.

  • Great interview!
