Ethics & Moral Knowledge, in light of Science & Postmodernism, 2018 ADA I use this show to give an overview historically how we have lost moral knowledge in the west. Throughout, my focus is on what kind of thing is a moral principle or virtue on these various views, & then I show how the various alternatives to objectively real morals fail. Moreover, there are some core morals that we simply know to be valid. So, what is their best explanation for what they are? And that answer points us to God, & specifically the Christian God. Note: you may use this show, but please give me credit for it.
