Philosophy

“Philosopher Kenneth Samples has identified a set of truths that cannot be verified algorithmically or scientifically: logical truths, metaphysical truths, and objective moral truths. Some truths must simply be accepted to be able to do science at all.” - Reasons to Believe

“Given these various definitions, some of which explicitly contradict any semblance of a unified definition, Christian Platonism is nearly impossible to define since its commitments have shifted over time. Yet there appears to be a core conceptual agreement of transcendence.” - London Lyceum

“These five convictions Carter contends are derived from the biblical data and form the metaphysical convictions that accompany his twenty-five theses of what he means by trinitarian classical theism—which he uses interchangeably with Christian Platonism.” - London Lyceum

“Pragmatism is the only philosophy native to America. Pragmatism eschews any hope of discovering ultimate truth. It … defines truth as ‘that which works.’” - Sproul

Lewis—considered themselves Christian Platonists…. philosophy capable of defending Christianity’s belief in an eternal, unchanging first cause whose goodness, truth, and beauty explain reality and give this life true meaning and purpose.” - Credo

“Where that Authority does not speak with specificity, I actually do look pretty much to the reality-based community for wisdom. But where he does speak, he outranks them all.” - Mark Ward

“Our diverse ways of seeing reality will never, and should never, meld into a monolithic worldview” - Scientific American

“…while the ‘sunny nihilism’ worldview is wrapped in the pretense of humility and relativism, it’s actually making a bold claim about truth that relies heavily upon a faith commitment.” - TGC

“…Augusto Del Noce was one of the most perceptive late-twentieth-century critics of both secularism and the sexual revolution. Indeed, his most important work is arguably that which drew an intimate and necessary connection between these two phenomena: the abolition of Christianity as a dominant cultural force and the transformation of sexual morality.” - Carl Trueman
