    I’m going to Purdue this fall to major in philosophy (and also biochem and psych so don’t worry, I’ll get a job) and Dr. Cooper’s videos are undoubtedly going to come in so handy. I’m beginning with 19th century philosophy, so the timing of these most recent videos is greatly appreciated

      The other guy is probably right. I majored in biomedical engineering in 99% sure I’ve learned more philosophy just from my own research then I would’ve at a university. Could even give you some book recommendations that they won’t talk about at all

      @@bradleymarshall5489 I appreciate the advice, and I am completely in agreement. I just brought with me enough credits from high school that I need to triple major in order to maintain full time student status and keep scholarships. But I agree, reading is definitely going to teach me more👍

      @@RealityConcurrence I'm 36. I really messed up my life by trying to double major. I should have just gotten the degree as fast as possible. I didn't get a job until I was 25!

    Dr. Jordan B Cooper is definitely my favorite UA-camr, and in my opinion, is the best theologian alive.

      This video appears to make explicit belief in very specific things about the supernatural a sort of rigid door to the House of Faith. Lutheran Dr Cooper, above most of us, should know that religious dogmatism inherently breeds protestantism. In today's context, the protesters are the skeptics who hear the Christian message as "ability to believe in the paranormal without skepticism is the deciding factor in whether one is right with God". And so they naturally recoil at this, perhaps rightly so

    26:24 I would have loved more of a developed thought here. This seems to be a common way of arguing in 2023-2024 among prominent Christian thinkers, but seems to have some major shortcomings.
    You assume “common sense realism” as the basis we have for engaging with the world and people, but do you have experience with “critical realism”?
    You also locate the point of contact within our rational faculty (reason) but why not locate it within the larger concept of the imago dei which includes the rational faculty, but also the various other ways our affections of moved.
    I think this line of argument is consistent with what made the culture susceptible to the trappings of the enlightenment. Would love if you could do a piece of the Lutheran and Romantic thinker JG Hamann, who I think charted a better path forward from everything I’ve read about him. Otherwise, Kant is waiting to wallop the unsuspecting historical retriever who believes flattening our mode of engaging modernity to rationalism will work out in the end 🤷🏾. Consider how Christians would contend with the downgrade controversy, the fundamentalist controversy, or like movements brought on by a natural theological method that embraced scientism on a rational-empirical basis, and shipwrecked faith in the process.
    Are there any Lutheran writings of similar style and argument to either Bavinck’s Philosophy of Revelation or or Geerhardus Vos in Natural Theology that essentially identify a broader religious faculty coming from our sensus divinitatus that is rich in texture and serves as a point of contact?
    30:26 “inherit knowledge” bingo! You answered my questions to a degree :)
    41:06 “language” please see Hamann! It seems that Charles Taylor’s Language Animal idea came at least in part from Hamann.

      unfortunately, it very quickly becomes just good audio, as the video freezes completely like 35 seconds in.

    Lol. I make the joke that postmoderns always look a bit confused as well as a bit stoned at the same time. And it shows in the conflictions they have with themselves - one of the reasons I find their "insights" redundant and mostly in bad taste. I don't care what George Carlin said, you can't write well when you're high. Haha.
