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.

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!
