Hi John,
A thoughtful post by the fellow over at Pensees. Very well done! Thanks for the link!

I'm not sure if I want to be the one responsible for quoting this line, but I can't resist:

"It only means that the real point is to determine which of the contradictory revelations, if any, is more consistent with the beast we find ourselves groping at (this would consist of the natural world, history, philosophy, and human nature)."

Yes, a great essay!
