The Unifying Principle

Van Til: Man must assume that there is a unifying dimension to the world just to live practically in the world. He says we're moving from the idealist sort of quest for the universal to the pragmatists functional assumption of a universal even though it's not actually something that he will find, nor even seeks to find. "I think Van Til might be talking about the way that people move from lower forms of sophistication to higher forms of philosophical sophistication"
