Recent Logos/Ethos/Pathos Sighting

Calvinist philosopher John Frame claims that knowledge has three perspectives to it: the normative perspective, situational perspective, and existential perspective.

1. The normative perspective asks, “What do God’s norms [the Bible] direct us to believe?”
2. The situational perspective asks, “What are the facts?”
3. The existential perspective asks, “What belief is most satisfying to a believing heart?”

Sounds an awful lot like:

1. ethos (ought = goodness)
2. logos (facts = truth)
3. pathos (satisfaction = beauty)

 I'm sure Mr. Frame cited my blog in his dissertation, so I won't bother to check. Although I am a little miffed that he botched the order. Amateur.
