Show Notes

Dr. Kenneth Pearce returns to Philosophy for the People to (primarily) discuss his development of the argument from contingency for God's existence as framed within the context of metaphysical grounding, and, more specifically, how one can avoid necessitarianism when taking this approach. Along the way, however, many other matters are discussed, including the theoretic virtue of simplicity, the principle of analogy, and the privation theory of evil.
