John Wisdom, Gods - The Logic Of Disputes About God(s) - Sadlers Lectures

Nov 21, 2024
16:21
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis". It focuses specifically on his discussion of what he calls the "logic(s)" of disputes about the existence or nature of gods. By this, Wisdom has in mind the type of appeals or argumentation that people can use. Wisdom thinks that these disputes are not governed by the same logic as mathematical matters or empirically scientific matters, and bear closer similarities to those involved in legal matters, or better, aesthetic matters.
