The Freethinking Podcasts

In this episode of the FreeThinking Podcast Tim and I venture further into the world of metaphysics. We discuss two competing views for Realists regarding the nature of exemplifying properties: Relational Ontology vs. Constituent Ontology. **NOTE** Apologies for the audio quality of my voice, I think I might have had the wrong mic recording. It's not unbearable, but it's not the quality you're use...

Provocative title so I'm sure you'll want to listen. We discuss Tim's proposed acronym for the Molinist. After all, if the Calvinists get an acronym, why can't we? Seems only fair. This episode is the second of two episodes that follow along with Tim's article on the subject which is linked below. Hope you enjoy! https://freethinkingministries.com/the-t-r-u-m-p-card/

While recording our podcasts discussing Tim's response to Guillaume Bignon, I realized I'd disagreed with something I'd written down on our notes. Rather than cut off recording to discuss it, I decided to keep the cameras rolling so-to-speak, and both Tim and I liked the free flowing discussion that ensued. So I figured, why not make it into a bonus episode? Since this wasn't necessarily meant to...

If you haven't heard by now, Tim wrote a book. It's a good book. You should buy it and read it. However, some people thought it was a not good book. One person in particular, philosopher Guillaume Bignon, wrote a 50 page refutation of Tim's book. Tim wrote an article as a rejoinder to this refutation. Now we're talking about it. In this episode, we'll talk about the fifth of what Tim perceives to...

Finally, in this episode, Tim and I stake out where we tend to lean in the epistemological debates I've been talking about. Spoiler alert: neither of us takes a particularly strong position, but we point out what we believe to be the biggest issues in both sides. We'd like to revisit this topic again in the future, hopefully with some special guests to help us think through these things.

In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the skeptical theories of knowledge (if it's accurate to call them that). We talk about pure skepticism and weaker forms of skepticism, and see that it likely isn't a live option, particularly for the Christian, to maintain such a strong form of skepticism.

In the second episode in our series discussing epistemology, we take a look at two opposing views on the nature of justification: internalism and externalism. I lay out what each of these views looks like and place it in the broader context of the epistemological project. Fun ep!

No, those two topics are not related, but Tim and I start out this podcast talking about the Gina Carano controversy. If you're not interested in that, feel free to skip to about the 10 minute mark for our discussion on epistemology. In these next couple of episodes, I'll be laying out some various views and problems in epistemology that I learned about while attending my first semester in my mast...

I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back f...

Dr. Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton is an epistemologist (a philosopher who studies knowledge) who has authored the books "Reason and Proper Function" and "Retrieving Knowledge: A Socratic Response to Skepticism." Tim Stratton believes her work in epistemology has strengthened his FreeThinking Argument and also provides a platform to speak about what we can KNOW and how we should think about the cultural...
