#45 – What Makes Things What They Are? The Realist/Nominalist Debate
In this episode, we kick off a series discussing the most fundamental issue underlying all other questions: what makes things what they are? How does a proper understanding help us live well and flourish in our world?
In this podcast, we discuss:
- Defining the two options: realism (universals exist) and nominalism (universals don’t exist)
- What is God’s relationship to universals? Is this a threat to His uniqueness?
- How does thinking well about this issue help us grow in the knowledge and love of God?
