Augustine vs. Sartre on the Difference God Makes

In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each episode.
In lecture 4, Dr. Kreeft details the differences between Augustine, the lover of truth, and Sartre, whose ultimate enemy is truth. We are faced with a stark choice between Augustine’s road to the source of all love and light and life, and Sartre’s road into the darkness.
To learn more about these philosophers and the other major philosophers who helped shape the world, check out Dr. Kreeft's book series, "Socrates' Children: An Introduction to Philosophy from the 100 Greatest Philosophers": books.wordonfire.org/socrates...

The aging of Dr. Kreeft frightens me more than most things these days because we will be without an incredible voice for Truth, wisdom, and sanity when he is called home ... Perhaps one of the great things of our technological age is that we will still have these remarkable lectures to learn from when he parts our immediate company. God's blessings be continually to him! 🙏

I pray this video gets to the millions confused and stuck in the mud and muck that is relativism.

These lectures are so rich. What immense wisdom from Dr. Kreeft.

Peter Kreeft will be more ALIVE in Heaven and the HS will keep his wisdom going here.

The world doesn't make sense with out God. Wonderfu and educative presentation, indeed!

[@RocketKirchner]

Sartre misses Kierkegaard - the concept of anxiety is the possibility of freedom in the sense that one can have that anxiety and still be a Christian .

Bravo! This is a proof of God's love

Every person on Earth should watch this video with an open mind.

In the end Even Sartre could not live like Sartre. In an interview in 1980 before he died he gave an interview to his former secretary Benny Lévy. Sartre had said In the interview and I quote "“I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to god.” From Hope Now The 1980 Interviews

The education I never got. Loved this! ❤

[@gridlock1492]

You were very polite in not exposing more facts about Sartre's private life.

This is one of the best things I've ever listened to, out of untold hours of podcasts and videos. Incredibly well-prepared material and clear delivery. I suppose the content boils down to the opposing ideas of freedom, which Bishop Barron has specifically drawn attention to, namely arbitrary freedom of choice between options and "the disciplining of desire such that attainment of the good becomes first possible and then effortless." If there are real values that exist outside of yourself, then you have to accept the second idea of freedom.
