The Satanic Origins of Humanism, Part III

Another epistemological problem with humanism is that human reason is not autonomous. As a humanist begins to reason, he utilizes the laws of logic. So the question becomes, where do these laws come from? Human autonomy can’t account for the laws of logic because these laws are universal—they are transcendent. And if the humanist seeks to argue otherwise, he must presuppose the laws of logic before he gets started. So the laws of logic are prior to human reason. And this is inconsistent with the humanist contention that humans are autonomous. This shows that there is something that precedes human thought. The thoughts of human beings are dependent upon a transcendental way of thinking. So, in the end the humanist is unable to account for the laws of logic.
