John Wisdom, Gods - Considering Belief In Gods - Sadlers Lectures
Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler
Categories:
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis". It focuses specifically on his discussion towards the end of the work, where Wisdom draws some implications of the earlier points in the article for the reasonableness or propriety of belief in gods. He also discusses what he calls a "double and opposite phased change", which bears upon the origin and meaning of our feelings and beliefs.
