David Bentley Hart - Ethics and the good life

[LetReasonPrevail1]

There's nothing quite like listening to a Theistc blowhard spew forth copious amounts of bullshit for our consideration.

Hey, Mr. Hart, what color is the sky in your fantasy world?

I've always wanted to know.

Could you be so kind as to tell me? :o)

The stupid, it hurts...

Transcendent truth?

What precisely is a transcendent truth?

[aSimionescu]

@Easleytee Truth beyond what is "given to your senses". Search google for "aletheia", read many sources about it ( Heidegger could be a good start, then go to the greek philosophers ). Good luck!

@aSimionescu

Transcendent Truth = that truth which is beyond what is given to our senses?

Respectfully, this sound like complete gibberish to me

We make sense of the reality by way of our cognition, & we feed on cognitive engine with information obtained thru our senses

So to speak of understandings that exist & are to be derived outside of information obtained via our senses is, quite honestly, an entirely incoherent concept & devoid of practical value to me.

Your thoughts?
