Aristotle

We often hear the same objections to TAG based on similar mistakes.  A year ago I did a specific stream presenting TAG and why it holds up against TANG found here. I covered the supposed transcendental argument for the non-existence of God, but we saw this was based on a fallacious understanding of theological voluntarism.  Today we will cover more common and simpler objections to TAG which are usually based on misunderstandings, fallacies and basic blunders.


Today I will be taking Dr. Feser’s Five Proofs book and analyzing the pros and cons.  I will start with the chapter “Augustinian Proofs” since it comes the closest to the transcendental argument for God, as well as looking at other works about the inadequacy of bare monotheism, St Basil Vs Aristotle’s “great architect of the universe god” and thus no natural theology in the Thomistic sense, as well as some rejoinders to these problems from St. Maximos, as well as Q n A and super chats.  The full lecture is for paid subs to JaysAnalysis.


Made by JimB0b joins me to discuss big philosophy questions in relation to debate, logic, life, meaning and the arts.  We will be covering atheistic materialism and its assumptions, Neoplatonism and its insights, how math relates to metaphysics, the question of the one and the many – what it is and how it relates to ontology and more! Live at 9Pm CST


Tonight we will examine the introductory elements of Aristotle and consider how he was highly influential on the Eastern fathers, especially St. Maximos and St. John of Damascus.  Together with the Neoplatonists, we want to uncover the delicate balance of ferreting out pagan assumptions from truth. Fr Dcn. Dr. Ananias can be found here. Tonight at 5PM CST! 


Fr Dcn Dr Ananias joins me to review the debate with Stefan Molyneux. We will look at the strong points made, where there were weak points, areas that were missed, the central problems in empiricism and the ontological status of abstract objects, TAG and much more!


#atheism #debate #theism Continuing our series I cover my top ten for rejecting atheism, materialism, naive empiricism and all the other attendant superstitions that accompany the modern/post-modern world. The rejection of God has many consequences, ultimately which make a coherent life and worldview impossible.

Fr Dcn Dr Ananias Sorem joins me to discuss two important Roman Catholic figures: Anselm of Canterbury and John Duns Scotus.  We will cover the insights here and there, but mainly focus on the weaknesses in these theologians and how they do not actually provide any bridge between “Palamism” and latin theology.  The second half of this talk is available for subscribers. Live at 530 PM CST




 

I started screwing with Quantum Entanglement and reading Tyrone McKenna on the Food of the Gods and it warped me to Greenville to meet Jamie. We explore a new city – a future smart city – as well as meeting two sorcerers and wizards behind the black magic that transported me. Enjoy!
