Readings for September 3
This month’s readings serve as an introduction to postmodernism and we will discuss some responses to it based on a classical and confessionally Christian worldview. Postmodernism’s Applied Turn comes from the book Cynical Theories by Pluckrose and Lindsay. Moreland’s chapter comes from the book Reasons for Faith and the Miller chapter is from the philosophy textbook called Questions That Matter. For our purposes, we will be most interested in the section on Postmodernism and Plantinga’s response at the end of the chapter.
Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, Postmodernism’s Applied Turn
J.P. Moreland, Postmodernism and Truth
