What if the biggest questions of life, who am I? Why am I here? What is consciousness? Why is it always now? Can’t be solved by science or philosophy alone? What if they require theological answers?

In this conversation with Stephen Priest (Oxford and Cambridge philosopher), we explore why every deep philosophical question—from personal identity to the mystery of time, from being itself to the foundations of consciousness—ultimately points beyond materialism toward God, the soul, and freedom of the will.

Across this episode, you’ll discover:

Why science depends on philosophy, and philosophy on theology

How the soul makes sense of personal identity and consciousness

Why time is always “now”, and what that reveals about God’s presence

How being itself points to pure being: God

The limits of materialism and why consciousness can’t be explained away

How the Trinity (Father, Son, Spirit) illuminates being, presence, and consciousness

Why modern philosophy after Kant has often failed to face the deepest questions

How AI and modern technology may force us back to life’s ultimate realities

Philosophy raises the most profound questions, but only theology offers answers deep enough to meet them.
