TAG: The Transcendental Argument for God

Transcendental Worldview Analysis Series 1
This series introduces and applies Transcendental Worldview Analysis (TWA)—a structured method for evaluating worldviews by testing their ability to account for the necessary preconditions of intelligibility. Using the Transcendental Argument for God (TAG) as its core engine, the series exposes the internal collapse, dependency, and absurdity of non-Christian systems while demonstrating the coherence and necessity of the Christian worldview.
