This channel is dedicated to investigations in Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Religion, Metaphysics, Theology, and where all these intersect.

I am not a religious adherent, nor am I hostile to religion or its adherents. I see value in most of these worldviews and traditions, and seek to keep that which is true and thus valuable, and discard what is false and thus valueless.

I am not a New Atheist nor an Anti-Theist. I find that they tend to embrace fallacious scientism and throw out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to religion.

I am personally a Neo-Spinozist; a panentheist and a monist. However, I used to be a Deist, so I have a natural affinity for that position. Prior to that, I was a Christian Theist.

Hey there! I've started a series on materialism and would welcome any advice for what to include in future parts or whether you think I need to clarify anything from Part 1. Just if you have the time. Cheers!

Well you are my first neo-Spinozist friend on YT or anywhere for that matter so that's exciting. I would love to know what philosophical reasons led you from Christian theism to monist panentheism if you have the time or is there a particular video where you explain? Regards.
