Ep. 228- You Either Exist in God's Mind or in God's Novel (Hassidic vs. Berkeleyan Idealism) w/Drs. Kenny Pearce and Sam Lebens
In episode 228 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kenny Pearce and Dr. Sam Lebens to discuss which view of God better explains the creation we live in, Hassidic Idealism, wherein we live in God's mind, or Berklean Idealism, wherein the external world is separate from God's mind but intimately dependent on it. (Of course these options aren't the only ones!).
This episode is the culmination of two other episodes, one with Dr. Lebens and one with Dr. Pearce. Check them out here for more background on the discussion from this episode:
