Molinism | # | — Brandon @ 7:27 pm

In class we discussed Molinism in a very simple and stripped-down way. Those who are interested in the details might consider starting with the following online resources:

* Catholic Encyclopedia article on Molinism.

* Middle Knowledge, Truth–Makers, and the “Grounding Objection” by William Lane Craig discusses a common objection against Molinism.

November 15 | # | — Brandon @ 7:20 pm

Today we discussed Leibniz, looking at some ways in which he is similar to Molina and some ways in which he is very different.

Reading for next week: Finish the Discourse.

I will have regular office hours this week (Friday, 2:30-4:00, in SS 2115).
