"Thomas Reid and His Common Sense Philosophy" -- (Part Two)
Saturday, February 2, 2019 at 08:58AM
Here's the audio from the Academy lecture on Thomas Reid (the second of a two part series).
In this lecture, I address the decline of Thomas Reid's "common sense philosophy" along with its recent resurgence. I also address Reformed critics of Reid as well as consider Reid's influence upon the "Old Princeton" apologetic of B. B. Warfield.
I then offer four conclusions as to why Reid's "first principles" and "common sense" tests for truth can undergird a powerful transcendental argument for Christianity, as well as help us recover confidence in the place of Christian evidences in apologetics.
