Ep. 134 - Does Logic Prove God? w/Drs. Alex Malpass & James Anderson
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.

Ep. 132 - On Fiction and Fictionalism w/Dr. Mark Sainsbury
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.

Ep. 131 - Monarchical Trinitarianism w/Dr. Joshua Sijuwade
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Joshua Sijuwade to discuss his fascinating work on 'Monarchical' Trinitarianism, i.e., that the name 'God' refers to the Father alone while the Son and the Spirit are still divine persons.

Ep. 127 - Content Externalism and Putnam's Anti Brain-in-a-Vat Arg. w/Dr. Sanford Goldberg
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Sanford Goldberg to discuss his work on Hilary Putnam's reply to the brain-in-a-vat skeptical scenario. We discuss the idea that meaning just ain't in the head, i.e. content or semantic externalism, and much more. This was a really fascinating one and I hope to have many more conversations with Dr. Goldberg as he has thoughts on so many things!

Ep. 126 - Tackling the Boredom Objection to the Afterlife w/Dr. Paul Gould
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Paul Gould for a third time. This time we cover some of his work on the boredom objection to eternal or everlasting life. This argument has become more and more popular lately and can be summarized as "I don't want to live forever because you would get so bored" and is closely related to the thought that it is the scarcity and finitude of life that makes it worth living. Paul absolutely demolishes these arguments.

In this episode of the Parker's Pensées, I'm joined by one of my favorite YouTubers, Ed the Pond Professor of Aquascape to discuss the science of water movement, micro ecosystems, and limnology (the study of the biological, chemical, and physical features of lakes and other bodies of fresh water.) I learned more in an hour with Ed than in my entire bachelors of science degree! We went on to do a tour of the whole Aquascape Aqualand which will be on my other channel soon, so stay tuned for that!!
