Interesting read on Western epistemology (theories of knowledge) at the Evangelical Outpost

Part I - Cogito and Christ:
Doubt, Certainty, and Epistemic Humility
Part II - Cogito and Christ:
Doubt, Certainty, and Epistemic Humility (Pt. 2)
The philosopically interested depart to the Outpost at once! Those who are not don't just go get a latte...a word from Greg Koukl at Stand to Reason is helpful
My point is simply this. The way to deal with vain philosophies, wherever they may be found, is to have good philosophy, not to abandon the art of critical thinking altogether. And if the church is to survive [and thrive] in the twenty-first century as an important and significant player in the marketplace of ideas, then those who are members of the church are going to have to recapture the traditional emphasis on the mind and learn to manage and use the tools of thought in defense of the Gospel.
Amen! Amen?
