The epistemology isn't foolproof, but our best wisdom points to it being reliably true. (To fulfill that promise requires a comprehensive philosophy which I haven't seen. Systematizing appears to have gone the way of the Dodo bird.) (This in a way, asks whether Platonism or nominalism rules. IMHO, neither, because neither asserts a coherent view of the nature of "meaning.")
Oh, I wasn't trying to invalidate logic or anything. I mean, we also invent the rules of mathematics, but that doesn't make it any less useful and (usually) coherent. Or does my objection still not really work against that 'reasoning about reasoning' bit?
Lol, drunk and psychotic? Were you trying to eliminate the latter with the former?
Many presuppositionalists will admit that their apologetic isn't about honest conversation, but to shut atheists up and keep the presupper from doubt. Or at least, the more popular presuppers like Sye Bruggencate have said so.
