David Baggett, "Four Ways God Best Explains Morality."
Feb 15, 2015
David Baggett, an author and lecturer on theism and moral realism, delves into how divine influence shapes moral truths. He argues that theism offers a far superior foundation for moral values compared to naturalism. Baggett highlights four key dimensions—moral facts, knowledge, transformation, and the link between virtue and happiness. He critiques naturalism’s inability to address intrinsic values and emphasizes the significance of a theistic worldview in grounding moral obligations and understanding human dignity.
