God's Existence & Transcendental Arguments Debate: Jay Dyer Vs Dr. Alex Malpass

#God #debate #atheism

Note: I did mistakenly reference the text about induction as Quine's, when I intended to reference Nelson's Goodman's New Riddle of Induction. Quine is, however, continuing the Humean skeptical approach to epistemology so it is relevant, but I had in mind Goodman's argument.

Uploaded with express written permission. Non Sequitur invited me back on the show to debate the status and validity of transcendental arguments. Dr. Malpass takes a skeptical approach to both TAG and whether Aristotle uses a transcendental argument in his Metaphysics. Our chat wasn't so much of a debate as an exchange and the conversation went great. Very civil and Dr. Malpass grasped the flow of the argument. It was nice to finally interact with a philosophically grounded professor and not a total goofball.

Dr. Alex Malpass

Alex Malpass. runs a podcast, called Thoughtology, in which he interviews professional philosophers about the things that they are working on and the ideas that they are excited about. He want to bring their knowledge and expertise to a wider audience, because he believes that philosophy shouldn't just be for those who are privileged enough to be able to go to university to study it. Malpass was fortunate in this regard, and has a BA, MA and PhD in philosophy, and he wants to be able to share the joys of philosophy to as many people as possible. It also means that he knows a bit about the field and knows who to talk to about different topics.
