Royal Reason of Relativity: Buddha, Einstein & Wittgenstein - Bob Thurman Podcast #5
Channel: Tibet House US Menla Online
Date: 2017-10-09

Professor Thurman discusses the progression in theories of relativity in the west from Einstein to Wittgenstein, and shows how the Buddha set forth a perhaps more complete version of the same insight 2500 years earlier with what was later called “the royal reason of relativity. “

This episode is extracted from Professor Thurman’s Winter 2015 lecture series at Tibet House US  “Essential Tibetan Buddhism, and its Context in Tibet and the World.”
