'The master and his emissary' and 'The matter with things' by Iain McGilchrist.

Here is another very interesting and inspiring conversation: Ian McGilchrist and D.C. Schindler (Professor of Metaphysics and Anthropology) talk about the nature of god and the universe. There are many aspects to it that one might call "intelligent design", although they don't use that exact term. I particularily like the idea of "beauty as an endless invitation to more, to deepen the relationship... a call", as Schindler puts it, something that moves us. Below the video you can read a short summary of the conversation:

Iain McGilchrist and D C Schindler: Is Love the Source and Sustenance of Everything in the Universe?​


Iain McGilchrist and David Schindler respond to a question about a passage from Cs Lewis's book, The Discarded Image, then delved into a discussion of the passage and its implications for understanding the nature of God and the universe. They discussed intelligence, beauty, and goodness in the cosmos, and explored the idea that even non-animate aspects of the universe reveal intelligence, beauty, and complexity. They also touched on the idea that good can embrace evil, but evil cannot embrace good.The speakers engaged in a wide-ranging discussion about the relationship between beauty, order, and the transcendent principle. They explored the idea that disorder and chaos can be incorporated into order to create something even more beautiful and profound, drawing on examples from art, philosophy, and theology. They also discussed the complex and multifaceted nature of intelligence, beauty and love and the importance of values in shaping our understanding of the world.
