Reason, Science, Truth, and the Bible
Manage episode 452527766 series 3539032
This is the fourth in a series of four X/Twitter spaces in which I discuss the rise of the Modern university and its relationship to Biblical interpretation. Here I introduce the premises of Modern science, the transformation of “reason” in Modernity, the consequent transformation of “truth,” and how all of it relates to the interpretation of the Bible and Christian “apologetics.”
Emphasis is placed upon:
(1) Plato
(2) Aristotle
(3) Augustine
(4) Thomas and Bonaventure
(5) Descartes
(6) Kant
Due to the current crises in education, I believe this topic is important enough to make all four spaces in the series free, the others being: (1) Hermeneutics and Philology," (2) "Intro to Hegel," and (3) "From Luther to Heidegger." Further, the combination of this recording along with those recordings are introductory for an entire series I will be releasing soon for subscribing customers entitled "The Reception of German Philosophy in America." In that series, I go into much more extensive depth on all the thinkers and texts mentioned, as well as many more, for my subscribers.
