- W1826289969 abstract "My aim is to highlight four philosophical presuppositional issues that underlie the questions associated with God-arguments precisely as such. 1 A presuppositional issue is some matter that systematically precedes a question on which one is focusing, and one‟s stance on the presuppositional issue provides a fundamental (though often overlooked) component of one‟s stance on that focal question. Moreover, differences between stances on presuppositional issues frequently constitute a basic (though often neglected) part of disputes over stances on focal questions. Finally, philosophical presuppositional issues are especially crucial, since they regard one‟s fundamental horizon – one‟s basic categories of meaning and criteria of verification. For example, your disagreement with your friend about whether capital punishment could ever be morally good may well arise at least partly from an underlying (and perhaps unnoticed) disagreement between the two of you about just what “moral goodness” means and how its presence in a concrete situation can be confirmed or disconfirmed. The first of the philosophical presuppositional issues I have in mind is epistemological: Do I ever genuinely know anything at all? The remaining issues are metaphysical. One is general: What are the characteristics of reality precisely as such? And two are particular: Is utter badness real? Is direct divine selfdisclosure real? In the first of my paper‟s three parts, I will recount four common stances on these issues that short-circuit the enterprise of attempting to argue philosophically in favor of God before it even gets started. To maintain any of them is to maintain a philosophical presupposition that excludes in advance the potential rational success of any particular argument for God, thus leaving every such argument as at most the symbolic expression of individual or collective feelings, experiences, memories, hopes, expectations, and so forth, or perhaps as just a matter of historical interest." @default.
