Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More

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.

Episode 31: Peirce to Strawson

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! Mark and Adam look at more philosophers in the Modern Era of philosophy, including Frege's birth of analytical philosophy, British Idealism, and Wittgenstein's various philosophical beliefs. Language is discussed heavily, and Mark and Adam describe its importance in every aspect of human life. Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

Episode 33: Logic

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
