Philosophize This!
Episode #197 ... New Atheists and cosmic purpose without God - (Zizek, Goff, Nagel)
10 Mar 2024
As we regularly do on this program-- we steelman different philosophical positions. Hopefully the process brings people some joy. Today we go from ideology, to New Atheism vs Creationism, to Aristotle, to Thomas Nagel, to Phillip Goff's new book called Why? The Purpose of the Universe. Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help.
