Outside of time? Inside of time? Beyond time? Who understands when God truly is? Not Mark and Adam, that's for sure! Nevertheless, they tackle medieval opinions on the existence and qualities of God in the nineteenth episode of Unlimited Opinions. From the well-known philosophers of Augustine, Aquinas, and Ockham to the lesser-known opinions of Eriugena, Peter Damiani, and Lorenzo Valla, Mark and Adam break down the medieval history of philosophical opinions on God. There are also several J.R.R. Tolkien and movie references, as is to be expected!

Phenomenology: a branch of philosophy or a song famously covered by the Muppets? Find out on this episode of Unlimited Opinions! This time, Mark and Adam look at the last summaries of philosophers in the Modern Era of philosophy from Freud to Derrida. They discuss Freud's psychoanalysis, Husserl's phenomenology, the existentialism of Heidegger and Sartre, and the potentially complete satire of Derrida. They also talk and/or rant about how some people are just bad, how we limit our free will, and how it would be much easier to be a comedian if you are funny.

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."  They also look at the opposite beliefs, with Kierkegaard's opinion that religion is the summit of human progress, Cardinal Newman's religious ideals, and Wittgenstein's belief that only faith can give meaning to life. They are also open to suggestions for what the next season should center around, and would welcome any suggestions on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions
