Each of us possesses a worldview, or what contemporary society would describe as a philosophy. Therefore, I would like to articulate my own worldview to offer a basis for comprehending my perspectives on various subjects and themes presented in my blog posts.

​

I embrace realism, foundationalism, and intellectualism, which leads me to the conclusion that objective truth exists in the world and can be discovered through careful observation and rational analysis. I believe that the world exists independently of our perceptions, and we are to strive to understand it as accurately as possible. These principles shape my approach to life and how I interact with the world around me and are the metaphysical foundations of modern science.

​

As a Reformed Baptist, my faith is a central part of my worldview. I believe that God is sovereign and that the Bible is the ultimate authority for understanding God's nature and the purpose of human life. Though I reject presuppositional apologetics and embrace the classical methodology, I still believe that ultimately all knowledge is grounded in God. I reject blind faith and believe that there is substantial reason and evidence for God's existence and to deny his existence is irrational. I also embrace the methodology of Reformed scholasticism, which emphasises the importance of logic, reason, and careful study in understanding the Bible and the Christian faith guided by the Holy Spirit.

​

Politically, similar to Robert Menzies, I believe in a non-utilitarian classical liberalism, which values selfless individual and religious freedom, limited government, and regulated free markets. I believe that people should be free to pursue their own goals and aspirations without interference from the state, and that this leads to a more prosperous and just society. This belief in individual liberty extends to my economic views. By extension, I am also a Burkean conservative. I believe that tradition, custom, and the wisdom of the past should be valued and preserved. I think that social institutions and practices that have stood the test of time should be respected and maintained. Additionally, I also believe in a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch serves as a unifying symbol of national identity and tradition, while the government is constrained by a constitution that protects individual liberties and limits the power of the state.

​

Finally, I believe that the true, good, and beautiful are objective ideals that exist independently of human opinions or preferences. I believe that art and literature can help us understand these values and enrich our lives in a tangible way. My appreciation for the true, good, and beautiful is informed by my faith and belief in God who ultimately is the true, the good and the beautiful.
