This discussion initiates a podcast titled "Dinner with the Dead," where three individuals, Nick & Sharon Pavlovits, Connor, and Bogdan, aim to explore philosophical and theological concepts. They express interest in applying the Estuary Protocol for structured conversations, a method emphasizing coherence and mutual understanding. A central theme revolves around contrasting philosophical inquiry with biblical interpretation, particularly whether one should approach the Bible through a philosophical lens or vice versa. The participants introduce the concept of "propositional tyranny," highlighting the overemphasis on factual knowledge and the undervaluing of other forms of knowing, such as procedural, perspectival, and participatory knowledge, in modern culture. They conclude with a shared commitment to fostering ongoing, open-ended discussions, recognizing the value of both their individual perspectives and the collective pursuit of insight.
