[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.
lilrabbi has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":
Be careful not to assume that one author, or even two or three, has made Dissidens who he is. This may be true of younger folks and the "sexy calvinists", but it isn't true of the Hartogs, Bauders, and Dissidens of the world. I mean, even I have at least 3 authors that have influenced me:)
Don't you think that Plato and Aristotle argued for some things that were worth arguing for? Don't you think they did some things well? Are unbelievers excluded from hitting upon truths altogether?
I haven't read Weaver, I'll say that up front.
I'm not sure that we can discount what one says simply because he is an unbeliever. That is Elitist with a capital "E".
My, how the tables have turned;)hehehe
