But surely he knows that his TAG is just a modification of these arguments ultimately and that it is all implicit in plato, and that it definitively does not "prove" the existence of the Orthodox Christian God, even admitting the "proof" part, you could say that it substantiates the existence of an organisational Principle..., he has explained the TAG and its basically:

Read the following if you want to not waste your time and bypass the videos:


>You can't say there is no truth without asserting that as a truth, as that would be self-refuting
>"transcendentals" or "categories" or "preconditions" therefore God exists

and he lists some as follows:
>time and space
>self
>words/meaning
>the past
>universals
>ethics...
He says they are not empirically verifiable, "Transcendental categories" his whole position is refuting empiricism, they are immeasurables ultimately,
They are all preconditions for having "knowledge" - they are presupposed by empirical investigation, the Transcendental argument according to dyer proves that these must exist, in the mind of christ, or mind of God, he says then he digressed all the Transcendentals are all interdependent rather speculatively and says that them "working together" proves.. God (this is where he says he differs from platonism - which only goes so far... and screws up, because they all just say its all the One man.. and thats not enough he says... (You) need a mind, and you need human mind to encapsulate and relare all those Transcendentals together), and he says they are qualities which condition the individual,

Lol, so he says that Human mind which is only fulfilled by the Christian God, because you need a human Mind which is fulfilled by the Christ who has a "human mind" i guess feom dyers point of view....

So essentialy Dyers argument is "proof" for the necessity of the human mind! Wowzers!!!

Why does /lit/ even make a thread on this guy, his argument here is in part true, but fully encapsulated by Plato which he denigrates as incomplete, while he also interpolates that what you need exactly is an incarnational mind, which he calls the human mind,
So dyer has presented then the Transcendental argument for the human mind, and I am left laughing because this sort of argument is obviously the consequences of the popularisation aspect of pseudo-philosophy, combined with the evangelical tendency.

nonetheless his argument can by derived from an elementary reading of the Platonic dialogues, or medieval theologians.

And it is confused and incomplete with respects to the "principles" or otherwise as neologistically put by Dyer who far surpasses the divine Plato "Transcendental categories" "Presuppositions" "Preconditions"

There you go i saved you some time.
