S1 E25: Metaphysics
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!

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?
