Since it is the UNDERSTANDING that sets man above the rest of sensible beings, and gives him all the advantage and dominion which he has over them, it is certainly a subject, even for its nobleness, worth our labour to inquire into. The understanding, like the eye, whilst it makes us see and perceive all other things, takes no notice of itself, and it requires and art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own object. But, whatever be the...

When Wenzl Mcgowen had a mystical experience, he quickly realized that his preexisting belief system would not allow him to explain it in a way that satisfied him. And with too much knowledge of science, he was uncomfortable applying religious or other ancient belief systems in an attempt to understand. Instead, he turned to scientists-and what he learned would position his experience within a modern framework, and help him understand the effect it...

In these pages Raphael gives just a simple introduction to the Teaching of Plato, sending the seeker back to direct meditation on the texts.
According to Giovanni Reale, so much has been written and continues to be written about Plato - and in all the main languages - that it is now quite impossible to master all these writings. It is therefore understandable why a number of scholars have for some time been postulating the need to cut back on all...

15) Material Beings
Author
Description
According to Peter van Inwagen, visible inanimate objects do not, strictly speaking, exist. In defending this controversial thesis, he offers fresh insights on such topics as personal identity, commonsense belief, existence over time, the phenomenon of vagueness, and the relation between metaphysics and ordinary language.

For centuries, science and religion often have been viewed as in direct conflict. Now recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics are dissolving those perceived differences and revealing the similarities between (indeed, the intersection of) these two disciplines.
