Recorded in August 2023, Colin hosts this special live episode with the return of Onsi Kamel and our most featured guest, Colin's brother Justin.

Colin, Onsi, and Justin discuss a paper Onsi delivered at the Bay Area Thomas Aquinas Society conference on a Thomistic view of "place". Albert the Great, Thomas' mentor, saw close links between metaphysics and his view of place physics - a physics which we now know is outdated. What did he believe about place? Does it hold up today with modern science? Can we salvage anything from medieval views of place and metaphysics?
