We need to examine the question whether a 'philosopher' who holds fast to his ideology no matter what, and uses the tools of philosophy merely as means for defending himself against what he often mistakenly construes as 'attacks,' is really a philosopher. I would say he isn't. For he is not inquiring into the truth. One who thinks he possesses the truth has no need of inquiry.
This is supposed to true of science also, I believe.
It's also true of science, and it's also true of theology. Any theologian who imagines they have "the mind of god" figured out better think again. LOL
ReplyDeleteA theologian who thinks he's figured out the mind of God hasn't even figured what he's thinking about.
