Phenomenology: a branch of philosophy or a song famously covered by the Muppets? Find out on this episode of Unlimited Opinions!

They discuss Freud's psychoanalysis, Husserl's phenomenology, the existentialism of Heidegger and Sartre, and the potentially complete satire of Derrida.

On this episode, Adam is...well, kinda bored actually. Mark and Adam break down the approaches to logic of various philosophers in the Modern Era of philosophy. They look at the empiricist logic of Mill, Frege's refoundation of logic, the inductive reasoning of Peirce, and the saga of the Principia Mathematica, all while discussing the absolute importance of being able to use logical reasoning. Stay tuned after the outro to listen to an overly long argument about whether or not we are same sides of a different coin! Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

Join Mark and Adam for the heartfelt conclusion to Season 1 of Unlimited Opinions, in which they discuss modern philosophers' opinions on God! They discuss the various ideas that God is not real, from Ludwig Feuerbach's belief that God is just a projection of the human mind, Marx's "opium of the masses," and Nietzsche's famous "God is dead."
