Dallas Willard (1935-2013) was an influential philosopher and beloved author and speaker on Christian spiritual formation. He had the unique gift of being able to speak eloquently to academic and popular audiences, and it's fascinating to observe the ways his philosophical thought pervades and influences his spiritual writings—and vice versa.In this episode, Steve Porter (Senior Research Fellow and Executive Director of the Martin Institute, Westmont College / Affiliate Professor of Spiritual Formation at Biola University) joins Evan Rosa to explore the key concepts and ideas that appear throughout Dallas Willard's philosophical and spiritual writings, including: epistemological realism; a relational view of knowledge; how knowledge makes love possible; phenomenology and how the mind experiences, represents, and comes into contact with reality; how the human mind can approach the reality of God with a love for the truth; moral psychology; and Dallas's concerns about the recent resistance, loss, and disappearance of moral knowledge.About Dallas WillardDallas Willard (1935-2013) was a philosopher, minister and beloved author and speaker on Christian philosophy and spiritual formation.

What does that imply for spiritutal formation?What is real?Operating on accurate information about realityDallas Willard on Husserl: “What is most intriguing in Husserl's thought to me, the always hopeful realist, is the way he works out a theory of the substance and nature of consciousness and knowledge, which allows that knowledge to grasp a world that it does not make.”The Cambridge Companion to HusserlThe philosophical tradition of “saving the appearances”Mind-world relationshipThe affinity between concepts and their objectsDallas Willard on concepts and objects: “On my view, thoughts and their concepts do not modify the objects which make up reality. They merely match up or fail to match up with them in a certain way. Thus, there would be a way things are, and the realism there would be vindicated along with the possibility at least of a God's eye view.”Lying as a disconnection from the truth and therefore from the worldAgency in our choice to know God and pursue knowing GodThe role of sincerity and honesty in shared realityRichard Rorty, “Solidarity or Objectivity”: “breaking free of the shackles of objectivity”Dallas Willard in “Where Is Moral Knowledge?”: “One way of characterizing the condition of North American society at present is to say that moral knowledge, knowledge of good and evil, of what is morally admirable and despicable, right and wrong, is no longer available in our world to people generally. It has disappeared as a reliable resource for living.”Knowledge used to justify violence versus knowledge used to counter injusticeMoral relativism vs moral absolutism—which is the problem today?Moral absolutism is often not rooted in knowledge, but a feeling of certaintyDallas Willard, *The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge* (also available here)Social causes for moral knowledge having disappeared from public lifeMoral knowledge provides the place to stand for justiceWhat is it to be a good person?Emmanuel Levinas and the face of the otherDallas Willard in The Divine Conspiracy, “The life and words that Jesus brought into the world came in the form of information and reality.”Becoming a student of JesusWillard's four fundamental questions: What is real? What is the good life? Who is the good person? How does one become good?Dallas Willard on how to understand Jesus's words: “It is the failure to understand Jesus and his words as reality and vital information about life. That explains why today we do not routinely teach those who profess allegiance to him, how to do what he said was best. We lead them to profess allegiance to him, or we expect them to, and we leave them there devoting our remaining efforts to attracting them to this or that.”The contemporary issue of exchanging becoming more like Jesus for other ways of life.The real cost of changing one's lifeFrederica Matthewes Green: “Everyone wants transformation, but no one likes to change.”“The good news of Jesus is the availability of the Kingdom of God.”Sociologist Max Picard, *The Flight From God* and philosopher Charles Taylor on “the buffered self.”Dallas Willard on taking Jesus seriously as a reliable path to growth“In many ways, I believe that we are at a turning point among the people of Christ today, one way of describing that turning point is that people are increasingly serious about living the life that Jesus gives to us. And not just having services, words, and rituals. But a life that is full of the goodness and power of Christ. There is a way of doing that. There is knowledge of spiritual growth and of spiritual life that can be taught and practiced. Spiritual growth is not like lightning that hits for no reason you can think of. Many of us come out of a tradition of religion that is revivalistic and experiential. But often the mixture of theological understanding and history that has come down to us has presented spiritual growth as if somehow it were not a thing that you could have understanding of. That you could know, that you could teach, that made sense. And so, we have often slipped into a kind of practical mysticism. The idea that if we just keep doing certain things, then maybe something will happen. We have not had an understanding of a reliable process of growth.”Jesus on “The Cure for Anxiety”Production NotesThis podcast featured Steve PorterEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow & Kacie BarrettA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give
Learning about Infinitism is important because it provides a unique perspective on epistemic justification, addressing the infinite regress problem and offering insights into the nature of knowledge. It also enhances critical thinking by encouraging evaluation and reassessment of reasons, which is valuable in decision making and problem solving. Explore the philosophy of Infinitism, an epistemological theory that states knowledge and justification require an infinite chain of reasons.

Voice Of GO(r)D is very happy to bring you one of my favorite intellectuals, a man whose prolific output has kept my ears and interest very much occupied the last few years, Mr Charles Haywood. Charles is the ‘Maximum Leader' of The Worthy House, an online repository of book reviews, essays, criticism, wit, and humor, unlike any other blog out there. His podcast book reviews, which are actually vehicles for Charles to opine on everything from Roman History to various thought leaders and thought losers of our present day, are extremely interesting, thought provoking, and often containing hidden gems of wickedly funny commentary on our rulers and their fans. Today we discuss Charles' book reviews and how he got into that particular pursuit, as well as his thoughts on the dissident right; specifically on why some of them seem to have a class problem where it concerns their attitude towards those of us who work for a living. We also discuss Foundationalism, Charles political program which just might help rebuild the world once the shitshow around us collapses. You can read more on Foundationalism here - https://theworthyhouse.com/foundationalism/ You can find The Worthy House main site here - https://theworthyhouse.com/ and podcast versions of Charles' work on most platforms, including Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/16GCHsMkmbWRyTcJm6TMzv?si=1de55a7470f64d6d Charles can also be found on Twitter, where he takes his most trenchant criticisms of The Regime and its adherents directly to their own arena - As always, questions, comments, criticisms, suggestions and Hate Mail are accepted and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comPlease pass it around to any interested parties - word of mouth is the only method of advertising I employ, and your helping the show out in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Dimes and Judas hash out recent online drama concerning a transgender influencer in the DR, intercept a story on ancient alien disclosure occurring in Mexican congress, and review the film Corner Office. This leads to a discussion on the essentiality of merging economics and geopolitics as a form of short-term forecasting, citing the book “Geopolitical Alpha” by Marko Papic. Here they explore the shift from the Washington Consensus to the Buenos Aries Consensus, coupled with the eternal importance of constraints over idealism. Lastly on this episode of The Copepranos Society, Dimes speaks with the enigmatic Charles Haywood, Owner of The Worthy House, and Founder of Foundationalism. They discuss his pathway to financial independence, how dissident minded men can prepare for collapse, and the nasty rumors of him being a cool warlord.

On today's show, writer Charles Haywood highlights some of the good, the bad, and the ugly about the current political landscape and what the near future may have in store as a result of - and/or in response to - increasingly fracturing societies and failing democracies. GUEST OVERVIEW: Charles Haywood is the Maximum Leader of The Worthy House magazine, and the founder of the applied political philosophy of Foundationalism. He is a member of Generation X. His views are right-wing with a future-oriented, post-liberal bent. He does not belong to any existing political party. Like Miniver Cheevy, he was born too late, and wishes he could be a Knight Hospitaller, but with a railgun and warp drive. He desires comity but realizes, despite being a practicing and believing Christian, that ultimately no final question can be solved without conflict, usually involving violence. Thus, his style tends to be megalomaniacal and apocalyptic. He likes to fight. https://theworthyhouse.com/
Jody Azzouni is Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University. While Jody is best known for his nominalist stance in the philosophy of mathematics, he is also an author of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. This is Jody's third appearance on the show. On his first appearance, episode #45, he and Robinson spoke about the debate between nominalists and platonists in the philosophy of mathematics, Jody's own deflationary stance, and some adjacent concerns about ontological commitment in both formal and informal languages. On his second appearance, episode #75, they spoke about logic, natural languages, and formal languages, and mathematics. And in this episode, they shift topics entirely, discussing Jody's upcoming book, Challenging Knowledge, which develops an original account in epistemology that seeks to thwart skeptic challenges, and which also builds off of Jody's most recent book, Attributing Knowledge: What it Means to Know Something (Oxford, 2020).

In this episode, J. talks to Charles Haywood about Foundationalism, the purpose of society and putting Lizzo on the moon.
In Episode 17 of Season 3, Drew explores four epistemological frameworks (Rationalism, Empiricism, Foundationalism, and Coherentism) and how all of these are under sustained attack as a reliable way to discern truth. How can the church credibly maintain truth claims against this backdrop? Take a listen to find out.

《知乎哲也》板块,由受到大家喜爱的哲学小哥TJ和主播璐璐一起探讨哲学那些事儿~ 公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】可以搜索英语全文稿哦~Welcome back to 【Let's Philosophize】. 欢迎回来《知乎哲也》。In the previous episode, we were talking to TJ about “doubting and knowing”, let's continue with that topic.Yeah. Depends on the context, depending on what you represent, depending on the historical limitations, geographical limitations, cultural limitations, political limitations, you see, kind of like a relative fact or relative truth. So this is the argument of whether there is ultimate truth in the world. Yes, exactly. And how do we find that truth if things are quite relative?So… this already sounds quite difficult and it's… but there's three more to go. The next one is criticism of any theory like Descartes. He's very critical…Foundationalism. Yeah, it's a very big challenge because if you have a foundation, then you have to prove that foundation. Exactly. Actually this was what I wanted to ask you when you mentioned Descartes' foundationalism. 刚才TJ讲笛卡尔的基础主义的时候, 我就特别想问, 就是说If you assume, for example, the foundation of all the other things, of your entire belief system, for example, is “he loves me, we have a good relationship” , if this is your foundation, then all of your subsequent thinking is built on thinking he definitely loves me, this is the truth. But what if that is not the truth. Then your entire belief system collapses, right?Right.So, isn't that the problem with foundationalism?How can you make sure that foundation is solid? Exactly. Exactly. And this is the problem with all of philosophy really is that we just keep doubting. You try to find some foundation, but then you have to doubt the foundation. And you need more proof.It's difficult being a philosopher, isn't it?Yeah. Yeah. It's quite difficult. So far, we've talked about the dissent among experts, 专家之间的异议; Number two, we talked about relativism, 相对主义, so people are restricted by different context, their background; Number three is foundationalism, 基础主义, so you have to doubt the foundation. There're two more. I think the next one to talk about is infinite regress. This is just what happens if we don't have a foundation. If we can't have a foundation, then you just keep asking why. Infinite regress是无限后退. Does that mean, for example, you say, fundamental belief he loves me. How can you be sure he loves you?Then you doubt that. And then you just keep going down that rabbit hole. Keep asking yeah, but how can you prove that?But how can you prove that?But how can you prove that?Exactly.That's the infinite regress. Yeah, the best way of thinking about the infinite regress, I think is children, because children are often the infinite regress, you say Go to bed and they say Why.They ask difficult questions.Right. Go to bed. Why?Because you need to sleep. Why do I need to sleep? To be healthy. Why do I need to be healthy? Otherwise you get sick. Why will I get sick?Right...You can see that this will go on for a very long time until like Descartes, you eventually say because I told you so, right? Or for Descartes because God told you so, you need…Exactly.You need some authority. This does sound like a rabbit hole that you just fall into. Yeah, so we have one more.Right. And the last one is usually called coherentism. 融贯论. What is coherentism?
《知乎哲也》板块,由受到大家喜爱的哲学小哥TJ和主播璐璐一起探讨哲学那些事儿~ 公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】可以搜索英语全文稿哦~Welcome back to 【Let's Philosophize】. 欢迎回来《知乎哲也》。In the previous episode, we were talking to TJ about “doubting and knowing”, let's continue with that topic.Yeah. Depends on the context, depending on what you represent, depending on the historical limitations, geographical limitations, cultural limitations, political limitations, you see, kind of like a relative fact or relative truth. So this is the argument of whether there is ultimate truth in the world. Yes, exactly. And how do we find that truth if things are quite relative?So… this already sounds quite difficult and it's… but there's three more to go. The next one is criticism of any theory like Descartes. He's very critical…Foundationalism. Yeah, it's a very big challenge because if you have a foundation, then you have to prove that foundation. Exactly. Actually this was what I wanted to ask you when you mentioned Descartes' foundationalism. 刚才TJ讲笛卡尔的基础主义的时候, 我就特别想问, 就是说If you assume, for example, the foundation of all the other things, of your entire belief system, for example, is “he loves me, we have a good relationship” , if this is your foundation, then all of your subsequent thinking is built on thinking he definitely loves me, this is the truth.

Robert Gressis (UC Northridge), Dan Kaufman (Missouri State) and Kevin Currie-Knight (East Carolina) discuss what is and isn't realistic to expect of philosophy. Topics include realism (Rob) and antirealism (Dan and Kevin), foundationalism (maybe Rob) and antifoundationalism (Dan and Kevin), and what we do when we attempt to ground and justify our positions to others. The conversation sprang from a set of articles at Electric Agora. In one, Dan argued that philosophy is largely incapable of making sense of even basic moral considerations; in two others, Kevin argued that individual temperament plays a significant role in forming our philosophies. 2:10 - Dan Thinks Philosophy is Poor at Talking About Moral Commitments. Kevin Thinks Philosophy Owes Significantly to Individual Temperament. Rob Disagrees with Both Claims.13:08 - Is Foundationalism Just a Bad Metaphor (of Philosophy to Physical Space)? Can Philosophy Be Done From Outside a Particular Framework?25:14 - Rob Disagrees with Dan and Kevin's "Wittensteinian" Critiques of Foundationalism and Realism. (Freaky Friday is Also Discussed.)32:17 - Kevin's Pragmatic Account of What Kind of Truth Philosophy Can and Cannot Attain. Talking about Foundationalism.... Again.45:37 - Is (Particularly Moral) Philosophy "Just" a Matter of Opinion or Taste? (Are the Quotation Marks Necessary?)52 40 - When Should, and Why Do, We Give Reasons to "Justify" Moral Positions? 1:11:46 - Preview of a Promised Part 2 of This Discussion
Today we will have open forum . Today we will have open forum discussion and debate from Twitter spaces. Topics will cover atheism, materialism, the laws of logic and justification. Open forum will allow for Trinity debates, deity of Christ, philosophical issues, the Transcendental Argument for God, and more!
It was as a result of this discussion, of Three New Deals, that my program came to be called Foundationalism. And here, learning from movements of the past, I offer thoughts about how Foundationalism can be brought to pass (although I would be less negative about small-scale farming now; this article was first published November 26, 2018.)

#Logos #LogosRising #Christianity In this stream I am joined by Jay Dyer to discuss the problem of circularity as it relates to foundationalism, worldviews, and why it is so important concerning Christian apologetics. We will be hitting on everything from induction (Hume & Kant), the work of Thomas Kuhn, Willard Quine, and Kurt Gödel, as well revelation and the coherency theory of truth. Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

This famous manifesto, by a man who total rejects technological-industrial society, is a challenge to techno-optimists such as I am—and thus a challenge to Foundationalism. I discuss that here, but regardless, it turns out that Kaczynski was very right about many things in our future. The written version of this review can be found here.

In which Garibaldi fights a Gorn. “Walkabout” introduces a new Vorlon who may just be Mr. Sinister, gives the disheartening information that the American medical system persists to 2260, posits that Swedish Meatballs are the carcinization of food, and prompts an in-depth discussion about Foundationalism's relationship to the concept of “walkabout” and Australian aboriginal people. In “Grey 17 is Missing”, we are sorely disappointed that a great Marcus plot is paired with a godawful Garibaldi plot, that Robert Englund's physical acting abilities are sorely underused here, and that Franklin is bad enough at computer security that he doesn't even put his secret files in the “porn” folder.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

Stop me if you hear this one before, "Democrats are a bunch of Socialist" or "Republicans are a bunch of Fascist". On this weeks episode, Josh and Will get the real story behind socialism and fascism and learn that, well....we should stop using those terms and just embrace our centralist American political system.

In this episode Jacob finishes his conversation with Philosopher and Software Engineer Jason Rogers on knowledge. They speak about two models of knowledge known as Foundationalism and Coherentism.

Pseudoscience / irrationality Making claims about truths based on appealing to some "preferably selected" authority Foundationalism and justified Empiricism Making claims about truths based on empirical evidence. The evidence "contains" the knowledge. The authority becomes: the senses and the “information” that is given to us by the senses Foundationalism and justified Critical rationalism All claims about truth are fallible, human guesses (‘conjectures”) But they can be improved No foundations and no justification, but error correction
This week we're talking about Truth, as in capital T truth, and what happened to it. It's a deep question. We examine truth from the lens of continental philosophy, taking into account the ancient philosophers that French intellectuals were problematizing and answering to. It's a short episode, but the content is dense.

FrDcn Dr. Ananias Sorem joins me to discuss the hot topics of late: Thomism, the Thomistic apologetic and the five ways, causality and teleology, epistemology and metaphysical categories, absolute divine simplicity and the uncreated energies and how apophatic theology influences and is related to our apologetic approach as well as their being no neutrality.Father Deacon Ananias has a PhD in philosophy.

From 2015 and needed to be restored. This talk is especially relevant, given the paradigms debate. I had numerous requests for more theology, mathematics and metaphysics, so here you go. In this latest audio, I talk over William Lane’s talk over a Ted Talk. I thought it illustrative of both the errors I see in Dr. Craig’s approach, as well as the errors in the atheist and agnostic approaches of modernity, exemplified in Jim Holt’s TedTalk. I discuss the flaws of the classical approaches to arguments for God’s existence, as well as critiquing and appraising Dr. Craig. Topics include transcendental arguments as distinguished from classical arguments, advanced metaphysics, Platonism, medieval ontology, atheism and the approach of Eastern Orthodox theology. The first half of this talk is free, while paid subscribers get full weekly talks. Enjoy!

Thoughts, for Independence Day no less, on how the government by elitist bureaucracy we have today conflicts with the vision of the Founders and with natural right, and what my political program, Foundationalism, will offer instead. (The written version of this review can be found here.)

David Koepsell earned his PhD in philosophy as well as his law degree from the University at Buffalo, where he studied with Barry Smith. He has authored numerous articles as well as authored and edited several books, including Searle on the Institutions of Social Reality, The Ontology of Cyberspace: Law, Philosophy, and the Future of Intellectual Property. He has lectured worldwide on issues ranging from civil rights, philosophy, science, ontology, intellectual property theory, society, and religion. Koepsell has practiced law, worked for Bowstreet, Inc. as an ontologist in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and taught at the University at Buffalo. He was appointed Assistant Professor of Philosophy at TU Delft in September 2008. Koepsell and I spend quite some time discussing his controversial views on patenting and copyright, which naturally leads us into the foundations of ethics and law. Despite Koepsell's largely analytic style, we also touch upon phenomenology and the value of continental philosophy. Since Koepsell was executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism, we also dicuss the culture wars in the US before concluding with the relation between popular culture and philosophy.
