Listen "Ep. 25 The Simpleminded Society: Sources & Standards"

Episode Synopsis

In the final episode, Ryan analyzes the standards and criteria that we use to evaluate truth claims and moral propositions, questioning why religious criteria, propositions, ideas, and worldviews have been pushed out of the public square."I am a firm believer in an inclusive, rational competition of ideas: let the best ideas & best arguments—not just simply about God, but about everything—win out in our society. Personally, I’m not so sure that they are right now. In some cases, I’m not so sure that the best arguments, the most rational ones, are even getting much of a voice at all, and that’s concerning to me!"About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.
