John Wisdom - Gods

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis".

It focuses specifically on his discussion of how we ought to understand the differences in perspective of theists and atheists in modern times. These differences are not, in Wisdom's view, about matters that are experimental, but have to be understood in other ways.

John Wisdom, Gods - Differences Between Theists And Atheists - Sadlers Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis".

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the different sources of questions that people could  have or be motivated by in disputes about whether or not god(s) exist. One of these sources is experiential and another is metaphysical, but there is also a third source, which Wisdom analyses in more depth and detail, which has to do with interpretation.

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the parable of the invisible gardener found in section 6 of the essay, the most often read and anthologized part of it.  Wisdom develops this parable in order to bring out what disputes between theists and atheists about the existence of God often sound like.

John Wisdom, Gods - The Invisible Gardener Parable - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis".

It focuses specifically on his discussion of what he calls the "logic(s)" of disputes about the existence or nature of gods. By this, Wisdom has in mind the type of appeals or argumentation that people can use. Wisdom thinks that these disputes are not governed by the same logic as mathematical matters or empirically scientific matters, and bear closer similarities to those involved in legal matters, or better, aesthetic matters.
