Are Reason and Faith Compatible? | Dallas Willard

"Are reason and spirituality fundamentally at odds—or were they always meant to work together? In this talk, Dallas Willard explores the classical insight of Socrates, Plato, and generations of great thinkers who understood that life’s most important questions—meaning, morality, art, selfhood, even God—belong to a realm that is both rational and spiritual. Modern culture has torn these apart, leaving questions of faith, value, and the human person adrift in subjectivity. Yet knowledge, rightly understood, is possible in the spiritual domain just as in any other: it involves bringing realities before the mind, examining them, forming sound judgments, and acting responsibly on what is true.

Dallas Willard delivered this Socrates in the City lecture in New York on April 11, 2012." from the video introduction
