Ancient and Medieval Philosophy lecture 19 and 20

This evening we discussed Boethius, Anselmn - focus on the Ontological Argument, and other Medieval Philosophers up to John of Salisbury. Some of the time we watched videos that included https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7AhBEq4Gqs on Boethius and this video to introduce Ross who I quoted from his new book To Change the Church where he argues that Pope Frances is a follower of Arius - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMc4Jip2Smo Ross and Peter Berger there were two videos from the first half that I made and posted here and here. And one video I made from the second half posted here. We also watched / listened to a video of Hlidegaard von Bingen songs and the quiz question was do you like her songs? We watched the trailer to the movie Stealing Heaven which is about Abelard and Heloise. There is also a video about Boethius by A C Grayling that I found but did not watch yet... but I will.

  1. 1. Separation of church and state is at the forefront of a free society and must be maintained to prevent the abuses of power of the past and for some the present. religion has no place in government accept in an unofficial capacity as advisory position representing the moral human condition in government divisions. Like Billy Graham who advised the presidents in troubling times. we do not need the troubles of the church from the old days who could condemn you ant tri you as a heretic and murder you just because you say the world is round when the official doctrine says it is flat.

    2. Yes, I do like Hildegard Vonbingen music is soothing to my it ears. The music is pleasant to listen to.
