McGaughey's project rejects the pragmatic solution to the skeptical dilemma created by deconstuction and postmodernism. It is not enough to say that the absence of absolute knowledge permits our embracing traditional theological claims bcause they have worked. McGaughey argues that once we recognize the conditions that make any and all experience possible are as certain as the immediacy of self-consciousness, the how of our knowing instructs us that we can and do know even when we do not have access to the things we know. In other words, Practical Theology shifts the focus away from what merely pragmatically works to to the practical conditions that enable any and all knowledge and understanding.
