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.

Today we will continue to cover divine simplicity in the Roman view, the Orthodox view, the meanings of our terms, the revealed doctrines, the patristic usages, the essence – energy distinction, St John of Damascus but with a focus on St Sophronius, and the 6th council’s condemnations of Origenism on multiple grounds from St Sophronius’ confession, accepted at the 6th council. We will compare this to Origen’s doctrine of evil based on dialectics and how Peterson accepts this view and how this leads him to gnosticism and how it ties to evolutionary theory.


Today we will cover divine simplicity in the Roman view, the Orthodox view, the meanings of our terms, the revealed doctrines, the patristic usages, the essence – energy distinction, St John of Damascus, St Gregory of Nyssa Against Eunomius, St Maximos, St Sophronius, and much more!  Live at 3PM EST!


Picking up where we left off on the last defense of theology and philosophy stream, I return to questions of apologetic method, the ontological status of numbers, logic and other invariant conceptual entities, the nature of metaphysics and transcendental arguments, the relationship of historical philosophy to dialectics and why dialectics must be avoided. We will also discuss revelation in Scripture in terms of the epistemic authority, the circularity of foundational truth claims at a fundamental level, as well as your questions. How do numbers prove God?


Many objections and challenges have come in recently after the last couple debates so I thought it would be useful to do a stream specifically on several fundamental philosophical questions and challenges. Most people are not familiar with the basics of philosophy, yet attempt to engage in debates and discourses on highly philosophic subjects. In this talk we will consider the three branches once again, as well as the assumptions of these branches and modernity’s deconstructing of them leading to atheism and scientism.

“When God was conversing with Moses, He did not say, “I am the essence”, but “I am the One Who is.” Thus it is not the One Who is who derives from the essence, but essence which derives from Him, for it is He who contains all being in Himself.” -St. Gregory Palamas, Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts, III.ii.12

Continuing with the minor prophets, we examine the texts of Amos and Micah and their relationship to the Apocalypse, the Olivet Discourse and the general pattern of redemptive history. Full talks and interviews ad-free can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links.
