S5 E4: Tolkien's Theories of Creation

from Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More · host Mark & Adam Bishop

In this episode, we talk about what is arguably the most interesting of J.R.R. Tolkien's philosophies: Creation! We break down how God created the real world and how this is portrayed in the Ainulindalë, how God's omniscience relates to humanity's free will, and the greatest philosophy of Tolkien: sub-Creation. This one idea points to Tolkien's theory of the purpose of Creation, the reason for existence, and what beauty is. We also complain about modern art and mention the dreaded c-word!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
