In this episode, we drill down further into how the Realist/Nominalist debate shapes our understanding of God with special guest and expert, Dr. Paul Gould.
In this podcast, we discuss:
- What is “Divine Conceptualism” and how does it relate to Moderate Realism?
- What are some of the intellectual resources we gain when we hold Platonist ideas about abstract objects and traditional theist understandings about God’s nature?
- How does distinguishing the two types of creation help us understand God’s creative activity?
- Where do distinctions about Platonic and Aristotelian thought help us sort through what we can know about reality?
- How does “Divine Exemplarism” help us make sense of difficult passages in Scripture?
- How can we make sense of the concept of “Divine Simplicity” without falling into incoherence?
- What is the concept of “Divine Aseity” and what requirements does it actually place on our ideas about God’s nature?
