Clearly, the subjects being discussed ...Greetings,<br /><br />Clearly, the subjects being discussed on this blog are of such a controversial nature that passions can run high. Perhaps, a bright side can be discerned from the participants' extremely elevated emotional investment in these matters. After all, I hope that we all agree that epistemology, ontolgy, and aesthetics really do matter. <br /><br />For anyone that cares, a couple of comments about myself. I know very little about formal logic, but I'm very interested. Unlike Stan, I was never an Atheist, but I certainly was not a Theist either- I was way too non-committal for such things. I was antagonized by what i saw of the scientists' crass positivism and materialism and too intellectually imperious for theism. So I settled for a kind of vague postmodern agnosticism with, perhaps a hint of pantheism. <br /><br />Ultimately, my philosophical impasse brought be into the orbit of Asian metaphysics and eastern mysticism. Ironically, the study of these subjects brought me back west with a renewed interest in modern science, platonism, and contemplative theism.<br /> Currently, my position would be best characterized as panentheistic. <br /><br />I suppose i ended up participating on this blog because of an interest in the following questions:<br /><br /> * Is material or physical reality the only form, or the central form of reality?<br /><br />* Is the rational faculty the only faculty, or central faculty of human knowledge?<br /><br />*Is the most profound and complete definition of human nature given by our knowledge of material reality?<br /><br />Best RegardsChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865413665629644313noreply@blogger.com
