S1 E20: Sixteenth-Century Philosophy

"Prolix and tedious." "An unnecessary tragedy." "Scholars were impatient of it, regarding its terminology as barbarous, and its complexities as pettifogging." No, those are not reviews of the podcast, but descriptions of sections of Sixteenth-Century Philosophy! Join Mark and Adam as they discuss a brief overview of the major shifts in philosophy in the 16th century. They discuss the new humanist approach and the diminishment of logic and Aristotle, and primarily focus on the split in Christendom in the Protestant Reformation. New discussions of free will and papal authority emerge, and Mark and Adam discuss major current issues with religion. Also, Anthony Kenny himself makes a Tolkien reference and new band names abound!Give us your opinions here!
