Van Til moves on from Kant to talk about those who built on his thought, especially Karl Barth. He offers a critique of those who, as Barth, use traditional language but mean something entirely different by it.

LECTURE
Van Til once again discusses the thought of Kant and its relation to Karl Barth, highlighting the prevalence of autonomy in modern theology.
Van Til sets out the Christian position rooted in the Trinity and contrasts this with the modern approaches to God of using bare reason.
Van Til explains the thought of Immanual Kant once again and shows how it ignores the Creator-creature distinction at every turn.
Van Til launches into modern philosophy after finishing comments on Aquinas. The theme of the Creator-creature distinction continues to show the problems with rationalism and empiricism.
Van Til continues his lecture on Augustine, showing how his thought was still based on a Greek notion of being. He also discusses Christian ethics based on the Westminster Confession and how they reveal the problems with Greek ethics.
Van Til contrasts the Christian position with the "monisms" of Greek and modern thought, arguing that only Christianity has a way forward.
Van Til gets into volumes 4 and 5 of Barth's Church Dogmatics and explores election in Christ and universalism in Barth's thought.
