Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More

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!

Mark and Adam are moving into the Modern Era of philosophy! In this episode, they cover philosophical ideas such as Bentham's utilitarianism, Schopenhauer's philosophy of the will, Karl Marx's communism, Nietzsche's denunciation of Christian values, and many more in between. They break down the evils of pure utilitarian majority rule, the fallacies of acting purely on faith, and the complete failure of communism and socialism. They also go on a long tangent about comedy and Mark's dreams of being a comedian. Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

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.

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?

We can't prove if anything exists or not, and that's either really scary or does not matter at all! On this episode of Unlimited Opinions, Mark and Adam break down more of the Early Modern Philosophers from Descartes to Berkeley, as the name would suggest. They discuss Descartes' massive influence on all of modern philosophy, John Locke's brilliant political ideas, Baruch Spinoza's examination of Scripture, and George Berkeley's perception of non-existence.
Also, please forgive the two moments in the podcast where the audio drops out! We would fix it, but we truthfully have very little idea how to work recording equipment, as is probably evident by this point.
