YouTube description

David Hume (1711-1776) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) were Enlightenment philosophers who sought to place constraints upon human cognition, and are thought by many to have discredited traditional arguments for theism (alternatively known as natural theology). In this interview, Prof. Richard Swinburne, a leading analytic philosopher of religion, a Fellow of the British Academy, and an emeritus professor of philosophy at Oxford, explicates and evaluates the chief attacks of Hume and Kant upon theistic arguments. We also discuss matters relating to Prof. Swinburne's life and career. Enjoy.
