Aristotle



Matt Dillahunty and Jay Dyer square off in a long-requested discussion about the existence of God and the validity of the transcendental argument. Matt Dillahunty is a well known public speaker and debater who has appeared in debates with Dr. Jordan Peterson and remains a skeptic, while Jay Dyer is a philosopher and author.  The debate will be moderated by Alternate Current Radio’s Hesher.



UPDATE:

Note for the debate: YouTube changed the ingestion settings live stream page since we tested it two days ago. Matt was cool about it and we are rescheduling for week of 19th. No one was running, YT has redone steaming page. You can’t schedule a live event and have it stream the way it used to since hangouts is gone, you have to use “live stream now.” My mistake




Multiple people have requested a philosophy Q n A so I am offering an open forum, with superchat discussion welcomed. Transcendental arguments, Pre-Socratics, Stoics, sophists, Aristotle, Plato, church fathers, Logos, logoi, St. Augustine, Neo-platonism, Origen, Medieval philosophy, up to enlightenment and modern era of continental and analytical traditions.


I reflect on the lengthy, highly philosophical debate from last night and reconstruct the arguments since we had technical difficulties. I consider how it is we can associate Aristotle in the pagan tradition, how my Aristotelian pagan opponent used his argumentation and how the position was flawed. Live at 8PM EST 

Joe the Boomer invited be back to debate the learned pagan Tweetophon, who is a lawyer with proclivities for Aristotle and paganism.  His position is, ironically, similar to Thomism and I am sure we will touch on all this.  Enjoy!

Immanuel Kant wrote at the close of his Critique of Pure Reason as follows:


Traditional philosophy and metaphysics Ep 6 picks up with a discussion of Defense of the Orthodox Faith: we cover the first book, where the doctrine of God is laid out, the essence – energy distinction, the Father as the sole cause and arche of the Godhead, as well as touching on the proper use of Aristotle (long before Aquinas) as we saw when we covered his Fount of Knowledge, while book 2 we will cover for subscribers to JaysAnalysis.
