Alexis karpouzos (born April 9, 1967, in Athens, Greece, is an internationally recognized Philosopher, Spiritual Teacher and Author. The philosophy of Alexis Karpouzos unfolds at the intersection of metaphysics, cosmology, consciousness studies, comparative philosophy, and spiritual inquiry. His work addresses one of the central crises of modernity: the fragmentation of knowledge, meaning, and human experience. Against this backdrop, Karpouzos proposes a renewed philosophical vision that seeks unity without reduction and depth without dogma. At the heart of his thought lies the concept of universal consciousness—a living, intelligent reality that precedes and permeates both mind and matter. Consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain, nor an abstract metaphysical principle, but the fundamental ground of existence itself. The universe is understood as a meaningful, self-organizing cosmos, where intelligence, form, and creativity are intrinsic to reality. Karpouzos challenges the dominant mechanistic worldview by emphasizing process, becoming, and relationality. Reality is not static but dynamic, shaped by rhythm, polarity, and transformation. Drawing inspiration from ancient cosmologies, modern philosophy, and contemporary scientific thought, his philosophy explores the hidden correspondences between inner experience and cosmic order. A central dimension of his work is the recovery of the sacred in a desacralized world. Rather than returning to dogmatic religion, Karpouzos articulates a post-metaphysical spirituality grounded in direct experience, symbolic understanding, and philosophical reflection. Myth, imagination, and poetic language are treated not as irrational remnants, but as essential modes of knowledge capable of revealing dimensions of reality inaccessible to purely analytical reason. His philosophy also engages deeply with the dialogue between Eastern and Western traditions, seeking points of resonance between non-dual wisdom and critical rationality. By transcending oppositions such as subject and object, science and spirituality, reason and intuition, his work points toward an integrative vision of thought, where philosophy becomes a bridge between cultures, disciplines, and states of awareness. Ultimately, for Alexis Karpouzos, philosophy is not merely an academic discipline but a transformative path—a way of seeing that reshapes how we understand ourselves, the world, and our place within the cosmos. This podcast invites listeners into that journey: a contemplative exploration of existence, consciousness, and meaning, where thinking becomes an act of awakening and listening becomes a form of participation in a deeper reality. more
