Youtube Channels or Books Critical Towards Science/Materialism?

[Rilles]

Recommendations? Its hard to step out of the culture zeitgeist of materialism and find ground breaking thinkers.

I'd suggest checking out some of Bernardo Kastrup's work in case you aren't familiar with him already. He has many good books, many good interviews on YouTube, and a youtube channel deconstructing metaphysical/ontological physicalism/materialism.

But im interested in not just being critical towards "brain" but also evolution and other topics

The philosopher Edward Feser has some very interesting criticisms of Scientism, materialism, and New Atheism.

The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake. Also anything by Dean Radin or Russell Targ. Whole by T. Colin Campbell is a good critique of reductionism as well.

I haven't gotten into it but there are green/yellow postmodern intellectuals, a lot of them dead. I've heard good things about Jacques Derrida. I have a book by Foucalt I've barely touched. 

Quote

Foucault's theories primarily address the relationship between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions.
