The Life Philosophic


Listen Later

Did you know you're already a philosopher? Sorry to break it to you.

This week Onsi, Colin, and Rhys discuss the role of philosophy in the Christian life, but not how you might think. Springing off of "Philosophy As A Way of Life", a Davenant essay by Peter Escalante and Joseph Minich, they lay out the current divide between analytic and continental philosophy, and explore how true philosophy is a different thing altogether: a search for truth, wherever it is found, in God's world.
