概要

In this episode, we continue exploring the differences between Realism and Nominalism by discussing good reasons to hold a Realist perspective.

In this podcast, we discuss:

  • What good reasons do we have to believe in abstract objects that we cannot see?
  • How is it that we are intuitively aware of things we cannot see?
  • Why do we naturally group things together? Is this “seeing” the universal they all share?
  • What are relations? Are they real? Can we see them?
  • What were some of the ideas that early modern empiricists got right?
  • What kinds of theological problems do we bump into when we reject realism?

Resources mentioned during our conversation:

  • Stan Wallace, “Three Reasons to Believe in Things You Can’t See,” (four-part series)
  • The first episode in this series: #45 – What Makes Things What They Are? The Realist/Nominalist Debate
