  The Concept of God

  Jun 11, 20261h 41m

  Tell Spencer your thoughts about this episode! Before we can think rigorously about whether God exists, we need to know what "God" is supposed to refer to in the first place. That's the theme of this episode. Perry Hendricks, Nevin Climenhaga, and Steve Kershnar join Spencer Case to interrogate the notion of God. Is God defined by a single property such as "the greatest possible being" or must we say that God describes a being with a special collection of logically unrelated properties (e.g., all good, all knowing, and all powerful). Can God be responsible for his actions? Can any being have each of these properties to the maximal degree?
