Philosophy of Nature by William Wallace: 1. Fundamental Concepts

Recorded in 1999. In this course, based on his best-selling book The Modeling of Nature, Fr. Wallace guides the reader through the fundamentals of natural philosophy, explaining how the universe is populated with entities endowed with different natures — inorganic, plant, animal, and human. Much of this knowledge is intuitive, already in people’s minds from experience. Wallace builds on this foundation to provide a model of the human mind that illuminates not only the philosophy of nature but also the logic, psychology, and epistemology that are prerequisite to it.
