Graham Oppy on Analytic Idealism, Gödel's Proof for God, and Ontological Arguments

Why Atheism?

Watch the video version here.


Prof Graham Oppy is the Professor of Philosophy at Monash University and, before that, did his graduate work at Princeton. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities and the foundation editor of the Australasian Philosophical Review. He's also the author of several books, including Atheism: The Basics by Routledge, Arguing about Gods and Ontological Arguments and Belief in God—additionally, he's also published superlative papers on Gödel's ontological proof for the existence of God. Apart from being a renowned philosopher of religion, he has also published on the philosophy of math, language, aesthetics, and science. In this episode, we discuss new atheism, Bernardo Kastrup's analytical idealism, Gödel's proof for God, Anselm's and Hegelian ontological arguments, limits of formal axiomatisation, and its relationship to epistemology and Christian existentialism.
