| Mar 14, 2017 at 23:03 | comment | added | MmmHmm | @AlexanderSKing precisely my point, it is not a matter of what is deemed so, but how is an impartial description made. Furthermore, considering that not all answers to this question specifically cite "a philosopher who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ and has philosophical works that try to show that this belief is justified" is demonstration that the question is unclear. How then to address an ambiguous question? Shall we simply list every opinion ever or is there a heuristic resolution? I have demonstrated the latter. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 22:02 | comment | added | Alexander S King | @Mr.Kennedy - this almost the same debate we had in your other post. Yes, a compelling argument can be made for "Christian Philosophy" being no more meaningful than "epistemology of Gandalf's approach to knowledge" - but sociologically speaking there are people deemed "philosophers" by institutional philosophy who also happen to seriously consider ideas from Christian scripture. | |

| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:17 | comment | added | user2953 | @JohnAm minor correction: I did not co-edit this answer. I only undeleted it, after Mr. Kennedy edited it to make it answer the question (which does not mean that I think the answer is correct or relevant). | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:16 | comment | added | MmmHmm | @AlexanderSKing my bad - I hadn't read all the commentary where the author clarifies the question. As is written, however, the question is ambiguous in the "flying planes can be dangerous" variety of ambiguity. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:13 | comment | added | Alexander S King | @Mr.Kennedy although there is technically ambiguity in the question, it is fairly obvious that the OP meant Christian philosopher as in Augustine or Aquinas. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:08 | comment | added | MmmHmm | @Keelan you confuse definition for meaning. You should fold that comment into the answer then. | |

spelling for the spelling nazi's out there

| Mar 14, 2017 at 21:01 | comment | added | user2953 | Yes, but that is not what "christian" means. Hence, the suggestion that you have misinterpreted the question. It seems clear what sense the author of the question intended. | |

| Mar 14, 2017 at 20:57 | comment | added | MmmHmm | @Keelan In the sense that "christian" means raised in a predominantly christian culture, Dennett is a christian philosopher. Without the OP's input to clarify the ambiguity I've identified, there remains no way to determine what is or is not relevant such that per SE guidelines we may benefit from a laser-like focus. Likewise, you seem to intentionally mis-read yet another of my posts. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 20:51 | comment | added | user2953 | Still, most of this answer is irrelevant to the question. You seem to misinterpret it, because for example Daniel Dennett is not a christian. | |
