On Theistic Philosophy and Civilization
All philosophical knowledge is founded on pre-philosophical experience. All scientific knowledge is founded on prescientific experience. But pre-philosophical and prescientific experiences owe a significant debt to theistic thought (matters of faith). Therefore theistic thought is the foundation on which the edifice of modern philosophy and science has been built over a period of thousands of years. If you reject theistic philosophy, you reject the foundational experience that has led to the rise of modern philosophy and science.
