Yes, it’s starting to feel like summer and Mike and Danny have decamped to the beer garden but it is still business as usual. Words? What are they good for? How reflexive is that question? This week we leave Erasmus and the humanists as they turn the light of human reason upon sacred texts. Suddenly, in an explosion of self-awareness Descartes emerges from his oven - is he fully baked or only half baked? Is God the “soggy bottom” of the Cartesian cake or the crunchy layer holding it all together and preventing it from being too sweet? Is certainty some thing we certainly need to be certain about or can we just wing it? Turn up the heat to 200 degrees C (around gas mark 6) and watch this episode rise!
