An historian and a philosopher walk into a bar. Just kidding. The philosopher drops some logic.

Brad back solo, this time talking philosophy, logic and critical race theory with Scott Coley. Scott has a master's in theology from Notre Dame, a PhD in philosophy from Purdue University, and teaches ethics, political philosophy and epistemology at Mount St. Mary’s University. This was a wide ranging conversation on concepts of justice, politics, objective truth, and critical race theory in the context of the conservative church. Along the way, we get some introduction to concepts in philosophy and logic. We recorded this in late December, and I have been mulling over Scott’s analysis ever since. After the Estate Sale end, be sure to listen to me try to test my logic knowledge with Scott. He was very generous and probably gave me a pass fail.

About the Podcast

Estate Sale: the selling out of American democracy
American institutions are under attack...and that means our democracy is at stake.
Democracy depends on a free press, a government for the people, a just legal system and separate-but-free church.

Yet, we have a corrupt U.S. president, a partisan Supreme Court, a power-hungry white evangelical bloc and a lazy press - which is revealing just how much our American values are being sold out.

With a lot of informative guests and a few F-bombs, co-hosts Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann and Brad Raley are going to change that.
