The University Discussion - Anthony Flew, Assertions And Qualification - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the mid-20th century symposium on falsification and theology called the "University Discussion" which can be found in the volume New Essays in Philosophical Theology It focuses specifically on Anthony Flew's first contribution to the discussion, which starts with a revised version of John Wisdom's parable of the invisible gardener from his article Gods. Flew argues that much modern theological discourse, in so far as it consists in genuine assertions, risks "death by a thousand qualifications".
