A World Without Reason with Dr. Peter Kreeft

A Reason for Hope Podcast: A World Without Reason with Dr. Peter Kreeft:
In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church. We also consider how we seem to live in a world “without reason,” in which rationality seems to be in short supply and common sense not so common.

As images of God that we are, we were given the reason, among other things (faith, revelation, charity, etc.). But at the same time we were created as finite creatures, in fact a little more than animals, and much less than the angel at the lowest step of the angelic hierarchy. Correctly managing this finiteness requires absolute trust in the Father, anything else is a recipe for disaster, as the story of Adam and Eve shows. The problem with our °modern" age is that the progress in science exalted our rationality while blinding us regarding the contemplation of our finiteness, and that led us to abandon trust in the Father for trust only in our rationality. And as all of human history shows, time and time again, that leads to irrationality, it's inevitable. Therefore, as Adam and Eve teach it, "thinking for oneself", which seems to be a declaration of independence, is really a problem, because like crazy people, we begin to reason perfectly on false premises, and that is insanity, and finally irrationality. The antidote is to trust in God, allowing Him to be the One who guides our thoughts (reasoning) ..
