How does the presupp know that revelation has happened, while accounting for the fallibility of human perception?

We can also know things via revelation by reliable authority or via inference, not just via observation.

Empiricism according to these 3 philosophers we can only gain priori analytic, posteriori analytic and posteriori synthetic knowledges.Now one can argue that mathematical truths and morality are priori synthetic knowledge.If that so than empiricism is false since it deny priori synthetic knowledge.

There is nothing absurd about language (LOGOI), which is the expression of the imaginary (PSYCHE) elicited, made up, fabricated from/about all that we observe:
- Non-manmade things (PHYSIS)
- manmade things (LOGOI) = utterations, expressions = ASSERTIONS of the imaginary.
