Send us Fan Mail Philosophers often use thought experiments to explore the limits of certain moral theories. In this interview, I turn to the reality of moral dilemmas to make the argument that it exposes some of the necessary limitations of AI ethics and that a proper appreciation of the function of AI will show that it struggles to respond to moral dilemmas in what can be considered an ethical way. If these arguments work, the future of the ethics of AI decision making is not just something that is limited contingently, but that there is a necessary limit to such implementations.  Support the show -------------------------- If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforall Education: https://bit.ly/joshyen Buisness: https://bit.ly/logosedu My Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

Send us Fan Mail Sceptical theism is one of the most common responses to the problem of evil. However, it is also subject to powerful objections. In this video, I argue that Kantian philosophy provides the theologian with powerful tools to respond to these objections and thus defeat the problem of evil.

Send us Fan Mail The current topic of the European Society for the Philosophy of Religion Conference 2026 is on the metaphysical turn and the revival of metapysics in the philosophy of religion.
