On Sunday, I posted that I was going to "try and develop, with a mathematically rigorous process, the basis of knowledge and all it's derivatives." Before we begin, I should explain the goal a little more clearly.
The goal is to develop, from foundational postulates to final truths, a coherent, reasonable philosophy of knowledge and understanding. At it's end state, I will have shown that faith in Jesus Christ as the source of my salvation is both intellectually defensible and justified by the weight of the evidence.
What I am not doing is attempting to prove the existence of God. Nor am I attempting to justify His will or His means of salvation. God does not need me to defend Him. He is the creator and king over the entire universe.
Mathematically Rigorous Process
I do not intend to create a mathematical proof of my philosophy, but rather I intend to hold myself to making no assumptions, except where foundational and irreducible. Additionally, each step in my philosophy must logically stem from all previous work. There are to be no inexplicable leaps. This is where I will need your help the most. As I have no formal education in philosophy, I will be learning as I go. If you find a weakness or mistake in my logic, please tell me, so I can adjust.
