The Pat Flynn Show

Dr. Brian Besong, author of Introduction to Ethics, joins the Pat Flynn Show to provide a brief introduction to the theory of traditional natural law, and why, he contends, it is still the best ethical theory on the philosophical market today. After which, we turn to listener questions on everything from the trolley problem, the naturalistic fallacy, the ethics of eating meat, abortion, President Trump, and more.

Many of us change positions throughout our lives; political, philosophical, and religious. I have spent considerable time on this podcast discussing my journey from atheism to theism, and eventually right on through to Catholicism. I have, however, also hinted occasionally at my development in political thought, from liberal, to libertarian, and, finally, to common good conservatism. This episode -- in which I am joined by Dr. Tyler McNabb (bio and website here)-- details some of the arguments against liberal political philosophy (and especially libertarianism) that we ultimately found convincing, before we turn to an interesting new article published by McNabb entitled By Who's Authority: A Political Argument for God's Existence, which critiques secular frameworks for grounding political authority and provides a plausible theistic alternative. Please enjoy. Mentioned Resources/Related Episodes We mentioned Patrick Deneen's excellent book Why Liberalism Failed. Also, What Is Marriage? Too, Michael Huemer's book The Problem of Political Authority. And finally, Tyler's book on religious epistemology.  Edward Feser (who we mentioned in the episode) explains why he departed libertarianism, as well, and offers further critiques, here.  Brian Besong offers a great introductory text to traditional natural law theory; and the Cambridge Companion is fantastic, as well.  Tim Hsaio provides a critique of consent-based ethical theory. https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/sunday-school-from-agnosticism-to-catholicism-with-dr-tyler-mcnabb/  https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/the-philosophical-approach-to-god-with-dr-robert-koons/  The Pat Flynn Show  If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you could subscribe to, and leave a review for, The Pat Flynn show on iTunes HERE or Stitcher HERE.
