Parker's Pensées

Dr. Michael Glanzberg, a philosophy professor at Rutgers, dives deep into the nature of truth and logic. He discusses the modern correspondence theory and the complexities of classical versus non-classical logics. The conversation tackles the notorious liar paradox, exploring how it challenges traditional views on truth. Glanzberg also touches on the practical implications of various logical frameworks and their relation to cognitive science. His insights into ambiguity in truth values add a fascinating twist to our understanding of logic and language.

In this engaging discussion, Dr. Owen Anderson, a philosophy and religious studies professor, dives into pseudo-intellectualism's impact on Christianity. He highlights self-reflection's role in intellectual growth and contrasts genuine inquiry with shallow belief systems. They explore imaginative apologetics and how God's existence can be recognized through nature. Dr. Anderson emphasizes the importance of faith amidst skepticism and reflects on generational differences in understanding belief, advocating for a passionate pursuit of genuine knowledge.

Dr. Eric Funkhouser, a philosopher and author of "Self-Deception," dives into the puzzling nature of self-deception and its far-reaching implications. He discusses how we can hold contradictory beliefs and the ethical challenges this presents. The conversation explores the roles of metacognition and the unconscious in shaping our thoughts. Funkhouser also touches on the moral dilemmas of willful ignorance and how these concepts affect accountability. This captivating exploration unravels the complexities of human cognition and belief formation.

In this discussion, philosophers Dr. Alex Malpass and Dr. James Anderson tackle the intriguing argument connecting logic and the existence of God. Malpass critiques the rationale behind logic as proof of divinity, while Anderson presents a compelling proposition about necessary truths and metaphysical possibilities. They also explore the complexities of intentionality, the nature of thoughts, and the debate between Platonism and realism. Their engaging back-and-forth encourages a deeper understanding of how abstract concepts can influence beliefs about existence.

In this conversation, Michael Ward, a professor known for his insights on C.S. Lewis and Narnia, shares his thoughts on morality and education. They delve into the significance of Lewis's 'The Abolition of Man,' highlighting the dangers of moral subjectivism. Ward discusses the philosophical implications of objective morality and critiques educational systems influenced by logical positivism. His passion for Lewis's work shines as they explore the integration of Christianity in literature and the need for objective values in a subjective world.

In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Mark Sainsbury to discuss another one of his fantastic books. This time it's Fiction and Fictionalism, another book in the Routledge New Problems of Philosophy series. How can we talk about fictional objects if there is nothing there to actually refer to? Dr. Sainsbury helps me think it through.    Grab the book here: https://amzn.to/3teZfXi If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $1, $3, or $5 a month.
