LECTURE
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.
Van Til delves deeper into the thought of Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato, showing how important it is to maintain the Creator-creature distinction.
Van Til dives into volumes 1-3 of Barth's Church Dogmatics, exploring how Barth uses orthodox language with an entirely different meaning.
Van Til compares Christian philosophy to the ancient Greek idea that man and God are on the same level, each related to general concepts such as "being" or "the good."
