Noam Chomsky

00:00 - Introduction05:28 - Free-for-All (Highs and Lows of the past semester)13:42 - Main Topic (Noam Chomsky &amp; Michel Foucault)On episode ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE Mike and Wade sit down to discuss Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, two philosophers who will challenge you to ask questions that you didn't even know you had, as well as some that you will probably decide you still don't have. Before getting to the philosophers, though, Wade and Mike use the free-for-all to complain about the things they don't like about their current semester (and maybe a thing or two that they do like). When they finally get to the main topic their discussion takes as it's spring board the debate between Chomsky and Foucault that was held in 1971 and takes as it's focus the question of human nature.

Dr. Paul Lehninger, who teaches with Wade an Mike at Wisconsin Lutheran College in the theology department. Last year Dr. Lehninger joined the guys for a Christmas episode entitled On Christmas with Athanasius, Lewis, and Luther. This year they welcome him back for a Christmas episode on the communication of attributes in the person of Christ...so the most Christmas of stories! The three of them get us in the mood for the season by discussing their favorite Christmas hymns in the free-for-all, before diving into a topic that has been at the heart of controversy in the church for nearly as long as the New Testament church has existed.

00:00 - Introduction 06:03 - Free-for-All (Favorite Christmas Hymns) 21:29 - Main Topic (Communication of Attributes: A Christmas Story) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE Mike and Wade are joined once again by Rev. Dr. Paul Lehninger, who teaches with Wade an Mike at Wisconsin Lutheran College in the theology department. Last year Dr. Lehninger joined the guys for a Christmas episode entitled On Christmas with Athanasius, Lewis, and Luther. This year they welcome him back for a Christmas episode on the communication of attributes in the person of Christ...so the most Christmas of stories! The three of them get us in the mood for the season by discussing their favorite Christmas hymns in the free-for-all, before diving into a topic that has been at the heart of controversy in the church for nearly as long as the New Testament church has existed.
