Reblogged: Resuming My Podcasts on Philosophy of Religion

[dianahsieh]

As I’ll be resuming my podcast series on philosophy of religion tomorrow evening, y’all might want a bit of a refresher. The past podcasts can be found via these links:

• Philosophy of Religion: Overview: I introduce the philosophy of religion by discussing its importance, the burden of proof principle, and the nature of God. Recorded on 11 September 2009.
• Cosmological Arguments, Part 1 – I present three kinds of Cosmological Arguments for the existence of God. Recorded on 18 September 2009.
• Cosmological Arguments, Part 2 – I discuss the major objections to the Cosmological Arguments for the existence of God. Recorded on 25 September 2009.
• The Ontological Argument – I discuss the Ontological Argument for God’s existence and objections thereto. Recorded on 2 October 2009.
• Design Arguments, Part 1 – I discuss various Design Arguments for the existence of God, focusing on the Aquinas’ Teleological Argument and the Fine Tuning Argument. Recorded on 9 October 2009.
• Design Arguments, Part 2 – I discuss major objections to Design Arguments for the existence of God, focusing on Aquinas’ Teleological Argument and the Fine Tuning Argument. Recorded on 16 October 2009.
• Design Arguments, Part 3 – I discuss various Design Arguments for the existence of God, focusing on William Paley’s Analogical Argument for Design. Recorded on 2 November 2009.

In particular, you might want to listen to that last podcast before Thursday evening’s show, as we’ll be discussing objections to William Paley’s Analogical Argument for Design. (I will recap that argument for y’all, in any case.)

I’ve got a number of podcasts upcoming in this series, including on the Argument from Miracles, the Problem of Evil, Pascal’s Wager, and Faith Versus Reason. Those future shows will be broadcast live for free, but I’m going to charge a bit for the podcasts — probably $10 for all of them. (Of course, regular contributors to Philosophy in Action’s Tip Jar will get access for free.) I loved teaching classes on these topics when I was a graduate student, so I’m excited to complete this podcast series! Once that is done, I might want to turn some of my other classes into podcasts.
