The philosophy of “Rationalism” claims human reason in the human mind can conjure knowledge without the benefit of either revelation or observation. The human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought depends on truth. Jesus is the Truth, and ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.
You might wonder how the philosophy of Rationalism deals with the problem of truth. Some rationalists claim they have built-in and true knowledge they can use as premises for logical arguments. Others say they can grasp certain truths directly. In other words, they believe they can make up stuff, and the made-up stuff is true stuff because of some miraculous ability they have. However, there’s no proof of the philosophy of Rationalism other than a bare claim and circular reasoning. Rationalists make up stuff and use that made-up stuff to “prove” the philosophy of Rationalism. It’s circular support for the claim. In other words, they base their claim “the human mind has built-in and true knowledge” on itself. Rationalism is a circular-reasoning fallacy. For rationalists, all logic resolves to one final premise of “It’s true because I think it’s true.”
Other people believe imagination can self-generate truth. These people use the same loopy logic the Rationalists use to support their claims.
And we’ve already discussed the people who believe no one can know anything, but there’s no proof of that belief either. It’s a self-refuting belief as I’ve already pointed out. These are the skeptics.
In the first century, a man named Agrippa the Skeptic defined a trilemma that no one who assumes Naturalism has successfully refuted in 2,000 years of trying. A trilemma is a problem where only three choices exist, but not one of the choices is a good choice. In this trilemma, all the choices for reasoning are fallacies. You can’t know any truth through fallacies. Agrippa observed this problem. He tried to disprove it, but he wasn’t able to because he assumed Naturalism.
