How Do We Know What We Know? Epistemology Explained | R.C. Sproul

How do we know what we know? In this introductory lecture on worldview and critical thinking, Dr. R.C. Sproul introduces the vital science of epistemology—the study of how human beings contact reality and distinguish truth from falsehood. Dr. Sproul begins with the rich symbolism of Herman Melville’s masterpiece "Moby Dick" and Rodin's famous sculpture "The Thinker" to address a major crisis in modern culture: the shift from "thinking" to "feeling" as the metric for objective truth. He explains the historic tension between rationalism (truth through the mind and logic) and empiricism (truth through the senses), and how the scientific method synthesizes both. Discover why the New Testament writers confidently appealed to physical, eyewitness testimony, why God's truth can never be contradictory, and how you can begin constructing a solid, biblically faithful Christian worldview. #RCSproul #Epistemology #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndReason #Philosophy
