A Unified Field of Knowledge –part 1
I am deeply indebted to the work of
Francis Schaffer for opening to me a very clear basic understanding of how
philosophical thought has shaped the thinking of modern and postmodern
Christians. After reading his Escape from Reason and The God
Who is There as well as other of his great works, it became clear to me how
many Christian musicians came to believe that there are no absolutes in music.
For centuries philosophers believed
that it was possible for all thought to come under a unified field of
knowledge. They often fought bitterly
over just what that unified field of knowledge included. Although philosophers did not agree on the
content of that unified knowledge, they did agree that philosophical endeavor
could and should bring about a philosophy of hope to the world.
