Traditional philosophy and metaphysics Ep 8 picks up with a further discussion of natural theology, natural law, its true and false senses and contexts and how the world cannot be properly interpreted without special revelation. We will critique the erroneous notions of "Logos" as universal reason, natural law and theology in the Thomistic and deistic Enlightenment senses and how those schemes led to today's atheism. We will critique the bland, unthinking acceptance of the so-called "classical" arguments for "god's" existence and how they are based on a faulty theology. We may touch on Defense of the Orthodox Faith: Book 3. Book 4 we will cover for subscribers to JaysAnalysis. "The Eastern tradition knows nothing of ‘pure nature’ to which grace is added as a supernatural gift. For it, there is no natural or ‘normal’ state, since grace is implied in the act of creation itself. The eternal determinations of the ‘divine Counsel’, the divine ideas cannot really be made to correspond with the ‘essences’ of things which are postulated in the so-called natural philosophy of Aristotle and of every other philosopher whose experience reaches only to nature in its fallen state. ‘Pure nature’, for Eastern theology, would thus be a philosophical fiction corresponding neither to the original state of creation, nor to its present condition which is ‘against nature’, nor to the state of deification which belongs to the age to come."
