  • Ep. #277 - Immortal Souls w/ Dr. Edward Feser
    Mar 29 2025

    What is mind? What is the intellect? Are there any other animals, besides human beings, that plausibly have an intellect? Why think the mechanistic world picture is wrong-headed? How can we argue for the soul's immortality without appealing to divine revelation?

    Dr. Edward Feser joins us to discuss his new book Immortal Souls which addresses these issues and more.

    The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
