• The Search For Truth

  
  More Than Cake — Authority: 104
  The search for truth sets the course for our entire existence.  Francis Schaeffer in a compilation titled, “The Complete Works of Francis Schaeffer” writes that “unless our epistemology is right, everything is going to be wrong [Schaeffer: Vol. 1, Book 3, Introduction] .” Christians have tended to ...

• The [in]compatibility of science and religion

  
  Open Parachute — Authority: 404
  There have been several books lately promoting the idea the religion and science are compatible – or at least challenging any suggestion that they might be incompatible. Of course, these were written by advocates of religion, or at least advocates of “ belief in belief .” While many of these books were ...

• Sociology of knowledge: Camic, Gross and Lamont

  
  UnderstandingSociety — Authority: 473
  The sociology of knowledge has received a new burst of energy in the past few years, with quite a bit of encouragement and innovation coming from Science, Technology and Society studies (STS).  (STS overlaps substantially with the SSK research tradition described briefly in an earlier post .)  Charles Camic and ...

• The Great Debate: Does God Exist? Is Atheism Valid?

  
  BRYANLOPEZ.COM — Authority: 399
  I am so incredibly thankful for @justinholcomb posting this on The Resurgence . If you are interested in a better understanding of faith, logic, worldviews and reasoning then you need to listen to this debate. This is the very debate that sparked an interest in apologetics and ethics in me. This will also come in ...

• You Have No Idea Whether Greg Jennings Really Fumbled Or Not, So Shut Up Already [Nfl]

  
  Deadspin — Authority: 783
  Heres the definitive camera angle on the play from yesterdays Packers-Giants game that everyone is so twisted out of shape about. Greg Jennings is on his way to the ground, and the ball is a fraction of a second from being wrenched out of his grasp, and you can clearly see—what? Unless I missed the day the NFL ...

• Diet Soap (C. Dereck Varn and Doug Lain) on Epistemology

  
  The Partially Examined Life — Authority: 454
  I’ve been talking to Dereck (aka Skepoet ) about coming on as a guest with us (on Saussure), and I noticed this new episode of Diet Soap features he and Doug Lain in a wide-ranging conversation on skepticism and its relation to phenomenology. One interesting point to add to the PEL deliberations on the growth of ...

• Reading a Book I’d Never Write

  
  Unequally Yoked — Authority: 108
  I’ve just finished Sara Miles’s memoir Take this Bread: A Radical Conversion, but I don’t think I can write my usual style of review.  Miles was raised by atheists (although she had missionaries a couple generations back), is a liberal … Continue reading →

• Paradigms, research communities, and the rationality of science

  
  UnderstandingSociety — Authority: 473
  An earlier post on scientific explanation provoked some interesting comments from readers who wanted to know why Thomas Kuhn was not mentioned.  My brief answer is that Kuhns contribution doesnt really offer a theory of scientific explanation at all, but instead an account of the cognitive and practical processes ...

• James Cresswell & Allison Hawn - Drawing on Bakhtin and Goffman: Toward an Epistemology that Makes Lived Experience Visible

  
  Integral Options Cafe — Authority: 422
  This is some seriously geeky philosophy - from FORUM: QUALITATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCH , Volume 13, No. 1, Art. 20; January 2012 - that brings together two very different perspectives. Goffman was a very influential sociologist and Bakhtin was best known as a  semiotician and philosopher of language, but together ...

• Nietzsche Reconsidered

  
  Journey to Perplexity — Authority: 97
  Readers of this blog know that I have been hard on Nietzsche .  Maybe I’ve been too hard on him because of the nutty followers he attracts – but that’s not his fault.  Through the prompting of a young philosophy grad, I have been reading through The Gay Science in a ‘modernized’ edition of an old ...

  The Aporeticus — Authority: 103
  Kateoplis  posted a “ Moon model by Johann FJ Schmidt at Chicago’s Field Museum , 1898.” One can scarcely imagine a more beautiful representation of knowledge , that strange abstraction which exerts so much control over the irreducible physical cosmos; as David Deutsch noted in his first TED talk : ...

• Orthodoxy is shown not proved

  
  A vow of conversation — Authority: 442
  … the life of the Church is assimilated and known only through life—not in the abstract, not in a rational way. If one must nevertheless apply concepts to the life of the Church, the most appropriate concepts would be not juridical and archaeological ones but biological and aesthetic ones. What is ecclesiality? It ...

• Sociology of knowledge: Mannheim

  
  UnderstandingSociety — Authority: 473
  The sociology of knowledge is an interesting but somewhat specialized field of research in sociology. Basically the idea is that knowledge -- by which I mean roughly "evidence-based representations of the natural, social, and behavioral world" -- is socially conditioned, and it is feasible and important to uncover ...

• Does the Bible teach that faith is opposed to logic and evidence?

  
  Wintery Knight — Authority: 552
  Probably the biggest misconception that I encounter when defending the faith is the mistaken notion of what faith is. Today we are going to get to the bottom of what the Bible says faith is, once and for all. This post will be useful to Christians and atheists, alike. What is faith according to the Bible? I am ...

• What’s Wrong with my Atheism?

  
  Unequally Yoked — Authority: 108
