Episode Details

Jordan and Matt Ntiros talk with Jeff Koperski about physics, metaphysics, and Thomism. They cover topics like: What are Thomistic metaphysics and physics? What are its central commitments? What are the key aspects of Thomistic physics and metaphysics that you find problematic? What metaphysical shifts needed to occur in order for modern science and the scientific revolution to take off? What alternative metaphysical commitments does modern science depend on? Does any of this change with the advent of quantum mechanics? Is quantum mechanics perhaps more consistent with Thomism than classical physics, or is the situation still the same? And more!
