The notion behind the piece I wrote was a matter of reformulating the role of evidence for faith. I would like to move away from the empiricist tradition that dominates Christian discussions of evidence.
I wholeheartedly agree. I was just curious if there is an implication with a move away from realism into “something else” which necessitates an abandonment of a notion of an extant reality beyond our perceptions, assumptions and points of view. I probably over-simplified (re: G-d as Platonic Form) in an effort to keep the question short.
Thanks,
