Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we continue our examination of Anselm's argument. First we'll correct some of Norman Malcolm's oversights and then take a look at Wittgenstein's distinction between relative and absolute value in his famous but misleading "Lecture on Ethics." We'll even catch a glimpse of one of Wittgenstein's own mystical experiences: the experience of feeling absolutely safe in the Hands of God. From absolute safety, we jump to absolute joy as I give an alternative Wittgensteinian twist to the final chapters of Anselm's argument.
