    What is knowledge? How do we know when we know something? How do we know whether we know that we know anything?

    To answer all these questions and more (or just to wonder about them and form no conclusions whatsoever), Philosophiraga is here to explain what Justified True Belief means with the help of Pokémon.

    Episode 38: Just Theory (w/ John Jost & Jim Sidanius)

    Episode 38: Just Theory (w/ John Jost & Jim Sidanius)
    ABOUT THIS EPISODE Historically, many activists and organizers have struggled to enact their visions of social justice, and many do so to this very day. What role, if any, can and should social psychology play in such struggles? Do we have a role to play? Or do the risks of such engagement outweigh any potential rewards? In this episode, I discuss such issues with social psychologists John Jost and Jim Sidanius. Jost co-crafted system justification theory, and Sidanius co-crafted social dominance theory, each a theory relevant to social justice. LINKS --John Jost's NYU profile (http://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/john-jost.html) --Jim Sidanius's Harvard profile (https://scholar.harvard.edu/sidanius/home) --"Digital Dissent: An Analysis of the Motivational Contents of Tweets From an Occupy Wall Street Demonstration," by Langer, Jost, et al.

    3055 The Death of Reason: Why People Don't Listen to Reason and Evidence

    3055 The Death of Reason: Why People Don't Listen to Reason and Evidence
    All living organisms depend upon their accurate perception of reality to survive and reproduce. If a gazelle fails to identify a predator, it will get eaten. For a lion, a mistimed lunge may be the difference between a full belly and death through starvation, or even broken bones from a zebra’s kick. Human beings lack the sharp nails and teeth of lions or the speed of gazelles, yet we posses the most powerful – and dangerous – tool within the animal kingdom – our minds. We would therefore expect the human brain to be highly capable of accurately analyzing and conceptualizing the world around us. The process of reasoning invariably involves the use of logic, and logic itself is derived from the immutable properties of the physical world. Empiricism is another component of reason that depends upon the accurate perception of reality. Reason is thus incredibly valuable to us, but what if reason itself gets in the way of our survival and reproductive success? | Sources: http://www.fdrurl.com/death-of-reason

    Element U Week 2: The Existence of God (EU 201)

    Element U Week 2: The Existence of God (EU 201)
    Three Main Arguments
    1. The Moral Argument
    2. The Cosmological Argument
    3. The Teleological Argument (“Fine Tuning”)
    • Argument is not a fight or quarrel
    • True philosopher doesn’t use arguments for the sake of arguing but for the sake of truth
    • We use arguments all the time in our lives
    • Why Philosophy?

    “To be ignorant and simple now--not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground--would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason because bad philosophy needs to be answered.” - CS Lewis, The Weight of Glory (pg 50)
    A Christian should be able to give a logos (reason) for belief in the theos (God) of the Bible and this is where philosophy is helpful (1 Peter 3:15).
    The goal of an argument is not to prove absolute certainty which leads to skepticism but to try and show what is most probable/plausible and makes the most sense when looking at all options.

    Element U 201: WHAT IS APOLOGETICS: And Why Is It Important?
    The word for “defense” is where we get our word apology, it means a defense like you would make in a court
    of law.

    This class will cover how to make a defense to various things such as:
    -the existence of God,
    -the proof of the resurrection of Jesus,
    -the reliability of the scriptures,
    -competing systems of thought,
    -what some call the “problems” of a biblical position.
