Ep. #33 - Naturalism & Self-defeat with Dr. Slagle

Dr. Jim Slagle joins us to defend what has come to be known as the argument from reason. In his philosophically rigorous book, The Epistemological Skyhook, he defends an updated version of the argument. He concludes that Naturalism is self-defeating. Also, we discuss a popular illustration used by Doug Wilson to illustrate the force of the argument. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/contact
