Reason, Revelation, and the Architecture of Truth: A Framework for Evaluating Worldviews
A coherence–correspondence–calibration framework for testing competing truth claims across reason, experience, and moral consequence.
When people debate worldviews, they usually do so with incomplete or ambiguous information, or unexamined inherited assumptions. But if truth claims are genuinely competing, how can they be evaluated without privileging one system in advance?
This book proposes a different approach. It introduces a framework for assessing worldviews by testing their coherence, their correspondence with reality, and their ability to remain stable under an external calibration standard—something outside the belief system itself by which claims can be measured and compared. Rather than beginning with belief and defending it, the method compares explanations by asking which one best survives constraint across reason, experience, and moral consequence.
Most religious works say, “Here is the truth—now let me justify it.”
Most secular works say, “Here is the method—revelation is excluded by definition.”
This book says, “Nothing is exempt or assumed. Let’s see what holds.”
Using the Qurʾān as a test case—rather than an assumed authority—the framework evaluates revelatory and non-revelatory worldviews alike without appeal to authority or faith-based exemption—treating truth as something to be tested and compared, not assumed in advance.
