Logic
The study of valid reasoning reveals necessary laws that govern all possible thought—laws that require grounding.
Logic and Theism
- Grounding Problem: What grounds logical laws? Theism locates them in the divine nature.
- Argument from Reason: If naturalism is true, our reasoning faculties are products of blind evolution—can we trust them?
- Gödel's Theorems: Formal systems cannot prove their own consistency—human reason transcends mechanism.
Classical Logic
The fundamental laws of thought—identity, non-contradiction, excluded middle—are the foundation of all rational inquiry and point to a rational ground of reality.
Modal Logic
The logic of necessity and possibility provides the framework for understanding necessary existence, the ontological argument, and the distinction between contingent and necessary being.
