To an empiricist (at least to me), presupposition sounds like bullshit, and the reverse is likely true as well. I cannot reasonably assert that they are wrong - though I remain unconvinced that presuppositionalism is anything but circular wishful thinking. I *can* point to empiricism's track record and explain how it has been *useful* - but that comes down to a question of what one values.

I'm tentatively convinced that it's all a matter of what approach one prefers more than anything, and that claims of "truth", particularly capital-T Truth are not entirely justified.

... It is more a humbling recognition that we aren't any of us in any position claim capital T truth, once and for all. ....

Speak for yourself, fish face.
