Philosophy is a requirement for cultural and society.  We are facing a breakdown of culture and society because our philosophy is utterly corrupt.  There is an internally consistent way of understanding that incorporates the latest realizations of the atheists with those of the Holy Scriptures.  Linguistics is at the core of human thought in the same way as the Word of God is at the core of all reality.  They (the atheists) are intellectually bankrupt.  The Christian pre-suppositionalist thinker consciously recognizing the necessity of Word can rebuild civilization.
