Fantastic! Really good to have such a wide range of philosophers categorised in this way. Thank you so much, I've listened to about a dozen of your lectures so far and am really enjoying them.
If you deny Kant's assertion that you Kan't reach God, then you are Pelagian and deny a central tenet of the Gospel. Where Kant went wrong is in thinking that God Kant reach man. If there's a "leap of faith" it is the Son reaching us. The Christian synthesis is the only viable solution to Plato vs Aristotle. The numinous is a People, 3 People, and One of them became man. This is marvelous in my sight.
Dr. Gore. Do you think we can glean anything good at all out of Hegel? Also, the best definition of sociology I have encountered is: ‘the study of factors external to the individual that influence and organize human action and activity’. Thus, and in my experience, sociology is a method and takes no view in itself. Rather, it is the sociologist him/herself that takes a view. Being a Christian that knows the Bible positively effects a persons ability to study and succeed in sociology. It is the methodological study of the affect of good and evil behaviour in the world. I would define it in one sense as ‘the study of the principalities of the air’.
Crazy enough, I searched for this exact lecture immediately after reviewing his philosophical considerations covered in Crime and Punishment, so absolutely!
I' ve just heard today a wonderful quote from an Indonesian thinker "conscience is the alter upon which the spirit builds a dignified and sacred life." The Indonesian philosopher did not mentioned which conscience he refers to: of the individual or of those that have an impact of the individual's life. You see, it is terrible to be left alone twice!
And the chorus of women from the Greek's dramas shouts, with a Balcanic accent, : " but we let her go!" In Athens, there were two amphitheatres, one for dramas and one for comedies, this later one being the larger, like in life.

Kent's classification of philosophers is a good guide for those who study the subject. Thanks Professor Gore.

Where is Feuerbach?

Yes you can, nothing prospers without a kernel of Truth. Put again, all heresy is but exaggerated unbalanced Truth.
Great lesson. How ist that Student of Spencer who was also the teacher of Himmler spelled?
Walter Bagehot.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, is he considered a contribution to philosophy ?
Certainly, but his real contribution is in the area of literature.

How do we escape Kant
