Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
Welcome to Unlimited Opinions! Have you ever wanted to listen to a lawyer and his son discuss philosophy, mythology, theology, politics and more? No? Well, Mark and Adam Bishop are here to discuss it all the same! From philosophy to mythology to politics, they discuss it all with rants and tangents galore! Now in Season 15, they're discussing Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P.'s essays in Philosophizing in Faith, discussing the principles of logic and Thomist realism; moral philosophy; theology, and more! There will also be more than the average amount of references to linguistics, 80s movies, and J.R.R. Tolkien. If any of that sounds vaguely interesting, then this is the podcast for you! Episodes are uploaded every Tuesday at 7:00 a.m. CST.

S15 E2: On the Search for Definitions According to Aristotle and St. Thomas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Doesn't everyone view definitions as just common sense? Doesn't everybody agree on what things are? Doesn't everyone agree that things are themselves definable? Surprisingly, the answer to these questions is "no!" Join us as we discuss Aristotle's view of definitions in the Posterior Analytics and St. Thomas' commentary on this view, as told by Garrigou-Lagrange. We discuss why definitions matter so much, how nominalism has likely destroyed much of our culture, how we are not better off in every way than people 800 years ago, and the ever-present question: what is a woman?
