22 - Logic and the Transcendental Argument

November 11, 2016

Does logic come from God? If so, what would this look like? How could God be a ‘necessary precondition’ for logic? This week, Spencer and Forrest tackle logic and the transcendental argument for the existence of God.

The boys discuss several problems presuppositionalists face when trying to ground logic in God. Spencer presents a Euthyphro-style dilemma for what this would look like, and explains why each option is either insufficient or incoherent.
