Also, Dr. Kerr addresses objections to his presentation of the essence/existence argument from our previous episode, and finally settles the debate over the NIN vs. Johnny Cash version of Hurt.

About Dr. Kerr
Gaven Kerr is a Thomist from Belfast, Northern Ireland, a married father of three, and a Third Order Dominican. He teaches theology at Mary Immaculate College Limerick. He has focused on philosophy and theology throughout his student days and into his academic career, in particular the thought of St Thomas Aquinas. He defends Aquinas’s thought within a contemporary context, and by means of that thought he engages with the other non-Thomist traditions.
On a more personal note, Dr. Kerr is a thoroughgoing metal head, martial arts enthusiast, and tattoo aficionado. His newest book is Aquinas and the Metaphysics of Creation.

Good to hear from Dr. Kerr again. I think it’s wonderful he’s been with his wife so long. I’ve heard people argue you shouldn’t marry your childhood sweetheart, but why not if they’re a good fit? On to the subject at hand though, I enjoyed the previous talk about essence vs. existence so this is an excellent follow-up. I’m a novice when it comes to philosophy, but Pat and Dr. Kerr make things easy to follow along. “Metaphysics of Creation” sounds like a good book, but do you think I need to learn more about philosophy more before I read it?
