    Episode #197 ... New Atheists and cosmic purpose without God - (Zizek, Goff, Nagel)

    Episode #197 ... New Atheists and cosmic purpose without God - (Zizek, Goff, Nagel)

    As we regularly do on this program-- we engage in a metamodernist steelmanning of different philosophical positions. Hopefully the process brings people some joy. Today we go from ideology, to New Atheism vs Creationism, to Aristotle, to Thomas Nagel, to Phillip Goff's new book called Why? The Purpose of the Universe.
