Brad Seeman is a PhD in philosophy and an associate professor at Taylor university. Seeman’s own areas of research include metaethical questions about the ways in which God grounds moral obligations, difficulties facing Materialists who seek to ground objective moral obligations in a world without God, and how Christians can respond to the tough questions people ask Christians about their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He also has a lively interest in contemporary continental philosophy and the ways in which architectural theory and philosophy interact. 

In this conversation I discuss with Seeman whether repentance has a rational basis or not, and in which cases, exposing my point of view relating to its misadaptation to the current environment and the usefulness of it as a feedback-giving system. A lot of nuances were discussed due to the sometimes incompatible religiosity from him and the hard skepticism from mine.

This episode is rich in quotations to christian and philosophical writings and thinkers and references to ancient philosophers, which in many cases have been able to come to deep truths of human nature while lacking modern technologies and the current living standards.
