Polytheism, monotheism, and trinities, oh my! In this episode, Mark and Adam look at the evolution of Ancient theology as philosophers move away from the polytheism of the Greeks and head into belief in monotheistic prime movers. They also talk for an excessive amount of time about whether or not you can really think about thinking, or if you are really just thinking about nothing when you are only thinking abut thinking thoughts. They also notice a distinct trend towards the basis of Christian beliefs among the ancient philosophers as they wrap up the beginning section of Ancient Philosophy. Next week: Medieval Philosophy!
