The Integral Stage | Nonduality (Ep. 10: Nonduality, Non/duality, Many-One Duality with Oliver Griebel) @theintegralstage8140 | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
In the 10th episode of Nonduality, philosopher Oliver Griebel offers a critique of Buddhist / Nagarjunan nondualism -- exploring the fundamental logical and metaphysical difference between first an either-or dualism, which posits a fundamental alternative, divide or antagonism; second, what he calls an either-or-and-neither nonduality, which posits a fundamental alternative and at the same time negates it; and third, a both-and duality, which interprets a fundamental distinction as an ultimate complementarity. More specifically, he asserts the holistic “one/many” complementarity, between Being as a whole and the many beings part of it, is different from the “emptiness/form” nonduality in the Heart Sutra/Nagarjuna tradition. Even in spiritual post-postmodern, postmetaphysical, integral approaches there still is a major worldview choice to be made about what the spirit or consciousness of Ultimate Reality is: Is it self-conscious, intentional and caring, about its coherence and beauty, worth and life within? Or is it non-reflexive, transrational, “empty?”
Oliver Griebel, M.A., was born in München and has studied translation and philosophy. He lives in Stuttgart. He is the author of "Der Ganzheitliche Gott" and "Wir Vielen in deiser einen Welt" (the latter of which will be coming out in an English edition shortly).
