He coordinates revelation from and about God, the world, and the self, and he finds them interdependent. Similarly, we see in this context that Van Til seeks a balance between a priori and a posteriori elements in knowledge. The Trinity is not a mere oneness or a mere threeness, but always three in one. So the creation is unity in plurality, fact in law, law in fact. There is no pure a priori or pure a posteriori. The search for either is fruitless and idolatrous, being the search for an absolute criterion apart from God. Therefore, if presuppositionalism denotes apriorism, Van Til is not a presuppositionalist.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li><strong>\u300c\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u662f\u9884\u8bbe\u6d3e\u300d\u7684\u610f\u4e49<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>In What Sense Van Til is a Presuppositionalist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u7136\u800c\uff0c\u4ece\u53e6\u4e00\u4e2a\u610f\u4e49\u4e0a\u6765\u8bb2\uff0c\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u53ef\u4ee5\u88ab\u79f0\u4e3a\u9884\u8bbe\u4e3b\u4e49\u8005\u3002\u4ed6\u6beb\u65e0\u7591\u95ee\u5730\u76f8\u4fe1<strong>\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u542f\u793a\u662f\u6240\u6709\u4eba\u7c7b\u601d\u7ef4\u7684\u7edd\u5bf9\u6743\u5a01<\/strong>\uff08\u56e0\u6b64\u4e5f\u4f18\u5148\u4e8e\u4eba\u7c7b\u601d\u7ef4\uff09\u3002\u6211\u4eec\u5df2\u7ecf\u770b\u89c1\uff0c\u4ed6\u7684\u300c\u7c7b\u6bd4\u77e5\u8bc6\u89c2\u300d\u8981\u6c42\u6211\u4eec\u300c\u6548\u6cd5\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u601d\u7ef4\u800c\u601d\u7ef4\u300d\u3002\u6211\u4eec\u4e5f\u770b\u89c1\uff0c\u5728\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u773c\u4e2d\uff0c<strong>\u542f\u793a\u5fc5\u987b\u662f\u6211\u4eec\u751f\u547d\u6240\u6709\u8303\u7574\u4e2d\u7ec8\u6781\u7684\u771f\u7406\u51c6\u5219<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n<p>However, Van Til may be called a presuppositionalist in another sense.

I do not believe that he ever defines the term. I have tried to define it for him as a \u201cbasic heart-commitment.\u201d For the Christian, that commitment is to God as he reveals himself in his Word. Non-Christians substitute something else \u2013 another god, themselves, pleasure, money, rationality, or whatever \u2013 as that to which they are ultimately committed and that which governs all of life, including thought. (DF2, 83, 216.) Our ultimate commitment plays an important role in our knowledge. It determines our ultimate criteria of truth and falsity, right and wrong. As long as we consistently maintain our ultimate commitment, we cannot accept anything as true or right that conflicts with that commitment.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>\u975e\u4fe1\u5f92\u65e0\u610f\u4e2d\u627f\u8ba4\u4e0a\u5e1d\u5b58\u5728\uff0c\u8fd9\u662f\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u7684\u53e6\u4e00\u79cd\u610f\u4e49<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Unbeliever (Unconsciously) Concede God Exists: A Different<em> Presupposition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u5728\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u7684\u8457\u4f5c\u4e2d\uff0c\u6709\u5c11\u6570\u5730\u65b9\u662f\u4ee5\u4e0d\u540c\u7684\u65b9\u5f0f\u6765\u4f7f\u7528\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u4e00\u8bcd\u3002\u6bd4\u65b9\u8bf4\uff0c\u4ed6\u529d\u544a\u62a4\u6559\u8005\u5e94\u8be5\u300c\u5411\u975e\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u8868\u660e\uff0c\u5373\u4f7f\u5728\u4ed6\u4eec\u5bf9\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u5b9e\u8d28\u5426\u5b9a\u4e2d\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u4f9d\u7136\u771f\u6b63\u5730\u9884\u8bbe\u4e86\u4e0a\u5e1d\uff08he is still really presupposing God\uff09\u3002\u300d\uff08CTK, 13\uff09\u663e\u7136\uff0c\u5f53\u975e\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u5728\u8fd9\u79cd\u610f\u4e49\u4e0a\u9884\u8bbe\u4e0a\u5e1d\u65f6\uff0c\u4ed6\u5e76\u4e0d\u627f\u8ba4\u4e0a\u5e1d\u662f\u4ed6\u751f\u547d\u7ec8\u6781\u59d4\u8eab\u7684\u5bf9\u8c61\u3002\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u8fd9\u91cc\u7684\u8bba\u70b9\u662f\uff1a\u975e\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u501f\u7740\u5047\u8bbe\u300c\u5b87\u5b99\u53ef\u4ee5\u88ab\u4e86\u89e3\u300d\uff08intelligible\uff09\uff0c\u800c\u9ed8\u8ba4\u4e86\u4ed6\u6240\u5426\u8ba4\u7684\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u5b58\u5728\u3002\u8fd9\u662f\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u7684\u6b21\u8981\u610f\u4e49\uff0c\u8fd9\u79cd\u6b21\u8981\u610f\u4e49\u4e0e\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u7684\u901a\u5e38\u7528\u6cd5\u76f8\u5173\uff0c\u5374\u53c8\u5728\u67d0\u79cd\u7a0b\u5ea6\u4e0a\u6709\u6240\u4e0d\u540c\u3002\u56e0\u4e3a\u975e\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u5728\u8fd9\u5c42\u610f\u4e49\u4e0a\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u4e0a\u5e1d\u662f\u8fdd\u80cc\u5176\u610f\u613f\u7684\uff1b\u8fd9\u5c31\u8bf4\u660e\uff0c\u5728\u5176\u610f\u8bc6\u7684\u67d0\u4e00\u5c42\u9762\u4e0a\uff0c\u4ed6\u627f\u8ba4\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u6027\u4e0e\u91cd\u8981\u6027\u3002<\/p>\n<p>There are a few instances in Van Til\u2019s writings in which he uses the term <strong>presupposition<\/strong> differently. For example, he urges the apologist to show \u201cthe non-Christian that even in his virtual negation of God, he is still really presupposing God.\u201d (CTK, 13.) Clearly, when the unbeliever \u201cpresupposes\u201d God in this sense, he is not acknowledging God as his ultimate commitment. Van Til\u2019s point here is that, in assuming the intelligibility of the world, the unbeliever implicitly concedes the existence of the God he explicitly denies. This lesser sense of <strong>presuppose<\/strong> is related to Van Til\u2019s more common use of the term, but it is somewhat different. For the unbeliever to presuppose God in this context is for him to think, say, or do something, contrary to his own inclination, that indicates at some level of his consciousness a recognition of God\u2019s reality and significance.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>\u9884\u8bbe\u4e8b\u7269\uff1a\u5fc5\u987b\u6761\u4ef6<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Presupposing Things: A Necessary Condition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u5728\u8303\u6c0f\u8457\u4f5c\u7684\u67d0\u4e9b\u5730\u65b9\uff0c\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u6240\u6307\u6d89\u7684\u5bf9\u8c61\u5e76\u4e0d\u662f\u4eba\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u8bba\u636e\u3001\u65b9\u6cd5\u3001\u77e5\u8bc6\u3001\u5b66\u79d1\u3001\u4e8b\u7269\u7684\u72b6\u51b5\uff08\u5982\u5b87\u5b99\u7684\u53ef\u77e5\u6027 intelligibility\uff09\u7b49\u7b49\u3002[\u4f8b\u5982\u79d1\u5b66\uff08CA, 24\uff09\u3001\u5bf9\u81ea\u5df1\u4e0e\u4e8b\u7269\u7684\u610f\u8bc6\uff08DF2, 77\uff09\u3001\u65b9\u6cd5\uff08DF2, 100\uff09\u3002] \u5728\u8fd9\u79cd\u60c5\u5f62\u4e0b\uff0c\u88ab\u9884\u8bbe\u7684\u5bf9\u8c61\u662f<strong>\u4e00\u4e2a\u5fc5\u987b\u7684\u6761\u4ef6<\/strong>\uff08a necessary condition\uff09\u6216<strong>\u4f7f\u67d0\u4e8b\u7269\u5408\u6cd5\u5316\u7684\u56e0\u7d20<\/strong>\uff08legitimizer\uff09\u3002\u6211\u4eec\u53ef\u4ee5\u8bf4\uff1a\u5047\u5b9a\uff58\u9884\u8bbe\u4e86\uff59\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\uff0c\u4e00\u4e2a\u4eba\u5982\u679c\u8981\u6709\u610f\u4e49\u5730\u89e3\u91ca\uff58\uff0c\uff59\u5c31\u5fc5\u987b\u662f\u4ed6\u59d4\u8eab\uff08\u575a\u6301\uff09\u7684\u5bf9\u8c61\u3002\u4e5f\u8bb8\u501f\u7740\u8fd9\u4e2a\u516c\u5f0f\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5c31\u53ef\u4ee5\u5c06\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u7684\u8fd9\u4e00\u7c7b\u7528\u6cd5\uff0c\u4e0e\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u7684\u57fa\u672c\u5b9a\u4e49\u8fde\u7cfb\u8d77\u6765\u3002[\u5173\u4e8e\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u7684\u300c\u9884\u8bbe\u7684\u601d\u7ef4\u65b9\u5f0f\u300d\uff08reasoning by presupposition\uff09\uff0c\u53c2\u672c\u4e66\uff08CVT\uff09\u7b2c23\u7ae0\u3002]<\/p>\n<p>There are also passages in Van Til in which the word <em>presuppose<\/em> is used, not of persons, but of things: arguments, methods, knowledge, academic disciplines, states of affairs (like the intelligibility of the universe).

The answers are: (1) Everyone knows God already by virtue of natural revelation (Rom. 1:21). Those who choose not to believe in him do so contrary to their own better knowledge. (2) Even if presupposing God did require knowledge in addition to what we have, the lack of such knowledge would not invalidate the obligation to presuppose God. Rather, that obligation would entail the further obligation to gain that additional knowledge. (3) Even if the requirement to presuppose God\u2019s revelation were in some sense impossible for man to obey, that fact would not invalidate it. Calvinism typically teaches that God commands what depraved man cannot do apart from grace.<\/p>\n<p>[ CVT = John Frame, Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought ]<\/p>\n<p>[ DF2 = The Defense of the Faith, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> edition ]<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a name=\"_Toc402351102\"><\/a> \u300c\u975e\u7ec8\u6781\u7684\u9884\u8bbe\u300d\u4e0e\u300c\u7ec8\u6781\u7684\u9884\u8bbe\u300d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>PROXIMATE AND ULTIMATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(From John M.

We know our own consciousness, and we must presuppose that self-knowledge when we come to know anything else. (Of course, it is also the case that we cannot know ourselves without at the same time knowing something of our finite environment. So knowledge of self is not prior to knowledge of the things outside ourselves. Self, world, and God are known simultaneously, as perspectives on each act of knowledge. That does not mean that the three are identical to one another, only that they are known together. This is my formulation, but I think it is in accord with Van Til\u2019s overall perspectivalism.) But our ultimate presupposition must be God alone. The apostle assumes that relationship when he write, \u201cWhenever our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything\u201d (1 John 3:20).<\/p>\n<p>[ DF2 = The Defense of the Faith, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> edition ]<\/p>\n<p>[ IST = An Introduction to Systematic Theology ]<\/p>\n<p>\u4e2d\u534e\u7f51\u7edc\u5723\u7ea6\u5b66\u9662ccnci.org\uff1b\u4e2d\u534e\u5c55\u671b\u5723\u7ea6\u5b66\u9662 HorizonCovenant@gmail.com\uff08PayPal\uff09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7b2c\u5341\u7ae0\u3000\u9884\u8bbe\uff08\u524d\u63d0\uff09\u7684\u95ee\u9898 PRESUPPOSITIONS \u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u662f\u4e00\u4f4d\u9884\u8bbe\u4e3b\u4e49\u8005\uff08\u524d\u63d0\u6d3e\uff09\u5417\uff1f IS VAN [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[145],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-145"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12486\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccnci.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
