Blind Philosopher’s Buff

Sharing Options

“Without some light from God, we cannot even know we are in the dark, although lots of our modern johnnies pretend to know that, so that they may begin work on their bulging forehead workarounds. But if Kant can’t know anything ‘in itself, as it is,’ then one wonders how he figured out the limitations of epistemology as they are. If we cannot know a thing-in-itself (Ding an sich), then it might as well be a transcendental absurdity (Ding an dong)” (Rules for Reformers, p. 150).

Pastor Doug, how similar would you say an Analytic philosopher like Alvin Plantinga and a Cotinental philosopher like Van til are?
