For an interesting kind of corollary study to the two You Tubes above you may want to take a look at the book titled . . .

We would like to invite you to join us in thinking alongside Dr. Michael Sugrue with a focus on the two central concepts of Logos & Mythos.

Dr. Michael Sugrue On The Logos & Mythos

Dr. Sugrue is the Behrman Fellow in the Council on the Humanities at Princeton University and a graduate of the Great Books Program.

For a more fully articulated analysis of the idea of the LOGOS consider what Dr. Jordan Peterson has to say about this Idea in the first episode of his series, however in order to facilitate what I am specifically referring to, click on the You Tube below and you will be taken to the point of departure for a through discussion of this idea. Then . . .

———–

. . . after viewing the episode above, I strongly suggest that you 1st read & digest, and ruminate on, to the best of your abilities, this excerpt abstracted from Peter Kreeft’s book titled The Platonic Tradition on the → Logos.

For all of you who would like to learn of the immediate relevance to which all this holds, in where we all find ourselves regarding our, or the immediate American context, I would like to suggest that you click on the hotlink below to contemplate →The Foundation of Christian Belief & Reality.

For further elucidation on the way that science and Christianity are connected in the most foundational of ways, I suggest that you scroll up this page until, 1) you get up to the interview that Jordan Peterson did with John Lennox, and then, 2) scroll up a little further just above the Ben Shapiro podcast titled, “The Crowd Goes Wild,” and listen to the extract from from Dinesh D’Souza’s book titled, What’s So Great About Christianity, titled, “Christianity and Reason.”

———————–

To contemplate the way in which science evolved out of the medieval and Christian worldview, for which the concept of Logos provides the cornerstone, we would like to invite you to consider a couple of chapters extracted from by Dinesh D’Souza’s book →What’s So Great About Christianity.

Click on → Christianity and Reason if you would like to read about the way science grew out of Mideval Christianity.

As an extension to the reading above you’ll probably want to consider the three Laws of logic that are key in all of our experiences; as well as being presupposed in all of the Newtonian scientific endeavor–as well as all of rational thought, being:

The Law of Non-Contradiction

The Law of Causality

The Basic Reliability of Sense Perception

For those who would like to go a bit deeper into the Mythos side of the equation, as laid out in the presentation by Dr. Sugrue above, you may want to consider what Tolkien and Lewis came to see in the concept of myth on our → Lewis & Tolkien debate history & Lies page.
