Episode 19: God
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
03/30/21 • 63 min
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!

S1 E24: Physics
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More

Who wanted to hear about Roadhouse again? Probably nobody, but there's another reference to it all the same! In this episode, Mark and Adam break down the Early Modern philosophical approach to Physics, covering philosophers and scientists such as Descartes, Galileo, and Isaac Newton. From Cartesian mechanistic physics to the revival of atomism and the Universal Law of Gravitation, the progress of science is discussed in determining what the natural world is. Also, Mark flagrantly insults the Lord of the Rings, and a question is posed: Is knowledge really knowledge if what you know is wrong?
S2 E2: African Animal Fables
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
10/05/21 • 56 min
What do Terminator 2 and Roadhouse have in common? African Animal Fables, apparently. In this episode, we look at tales about animals from all over Sub-Saharan Africa, including how Anansi became a story-telling spider, the slow-moving Tortoise's often devious tales, Gihilihili the Snake-Man, and many more! Join us in looking at these varied tales as we discuss their morals and how they can be applied to today's world. We also take the time to mock California as well.

Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
02/02/21 • 54 min
Adam and Mark move on to medieval philosophy! Beginning with the second half of St. Augustine's life, through Boethius and the great early Muslim and Jewish philosophers, all the way to Maimonides, the duo breaks down the doings of many of the great medieval philosophers. Scattered amongst the discussion are several Star Trek references and discussions of Latin classes.

Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
01/18/21 • 50 min
Mark and Adam continue with Chapter 8 of Anthony Kenny's History of Western Philosophy, which is all about ancient ethics. From the first moralist Democritus to Aristotle to the Stoics, all kinds of different ethical views are discussed. Mark discusses his favorites of Democritus' aphorisms (with Adam throwing in some Norse wisdom), and a discussion of sin and the ultimate goal of life begins and is to be continued next episode. Also, Adam hates the Sceptics.

How many people in our lives are really fully-fledged people to us and not just NPCs? How do we wrap our minds around the fact that everyone is their own individual person? All this and more probably will not be answered in this episode of Unlimited Opinions!

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.
S1 E25: Metaphysics
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
05/20/21 • 47 min
What is everything? Do things exist? Does God take an active role in our lives? What causes things to happen? Mark and Adam probably don't know, but they're going to talk about these questions all the same! In this episode, they break down the Early Modern approaches to metaphysics, from the Eternal Truths of Descartes to Berkeley's Idealism to Hume's ideas on Causation. There is also a lengthy discussion on whether or not God takes an active role in our lives, and countless other side stories and rants, as is to be expected!
