In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Thomas Ward to discuss his Cambridge Elements book Divine Ideas. In episode 111 we discussed a broad range of implications from his particular take on divine ideas, i.e. that they are exemplars of aspects of the divine nature. This time we focus in on how we can believe in divine ideas and still hold a form of divine simplicity.
