Podcast: Flowing with Entropy
The ecological crisis is a crisis in our thinking. In the “The Ecology of Ideas” podcast, CBS Associate Professor and digital ecologist Attila Márton speaks with thought leaders about changing our philosophies to develop ecological thinking. This episode explores Flowing with Entropy and how cosmic ecology expands our connection beyond the planet.
We often think of ecology as something related to planetary nature. What if it is about the entire universe?
In this episode, Attila Márton talks with Thomas Nail, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Denver, who introduces us to the idea of cosmic ecology. At the center is the notion of entropy as the natural tendency of energy to dissipate across the cosmos.
Thomas challenges the common view that entropy is something to fight against. Instead, he suggests that we are already part of this process and that we forgot how to move with it. This episode opens up a new way of thinking about ecology that connects us not just to the planet, but to the flow of the universe itself.
This episode is part of the Ecology of Ideas podcast.
