The University Discussion - R.M. Hare, Bliks About The World - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the mid-20th century symposium on falsification and theology called the "University Discussion" which can be found in the volume New Essays in Philosophical Theology It focuses specifically on Hare's response to the challenge that Flew articulated about the "death by a thousand qualifications" when people make statements using religious language. Hare proposes a different parable, one in which a person has an insane point of view (a "blik") about dons wanting to kill him. Hare argues that we have bliks about all sorts of matters and that these are not explanations but rather what underlie explanations To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase New Essays in Philosophical Theology - https://amzn.to/3ZAputg
