What Caused the Big Bang?

Welcome to the first episode of Fickle Philosophies! Today we’re looking at perhaps one of the most overreaching questions--what caused the universe to “happen”?

In today’s episode, we’ll be looking at Cause Arguments (specifically the Cosmological Argument), its errors, contexts where questions can be meaningfully raised, and brute facts in philosophy.


This season, I’m going to be relying heavily on Stephen Law’s The Philosophy Gym for great, easy-to-digest examples and arguments--I strongly recommend you check out his book for more information and philosophical viewpoints
