Aboutness, Autonomy, and the Missing Option X: Dr. Craig Responds to Davies and Qureshi-Hurst

About this episode

Can the universe have purpose without a purposive mind? Dr. William Lane Craig responds to physicist Paul Davies and philosopher Emily Qureshi-Hurst as they wrestle with whether purpose is something real or merely something we invent. Along the way he discusses intentionality ("aboutness"), the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics, and why subjective meaning ultimately fails to account for objective purpose. Craig argues that wherever genuine purpose exists, it points beyond the universe to a personal mind.
