Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Reason can go only a little way and then it stops, it cannot go any further; and if you try to push it, the result is helpless confusion, reason itself becomes unreasonable. Logic becomes argument in a circle. Take, for instance, the very basis of our perception, matter and force. What is matter? That which is acted upon by force. And force? That which acts upon matter. You see the complication, what the logicians call see-saw, the idea depending on the other, and this again depending on that. You find a mighty barrier before reason, beyond which reasoning cannot go; yet it always feels impatient to get into the region of the Infinite beyond -- ________ Read an online book by John Dobson-Astronomer, called Adviata Vedanta and Modern Science located at: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/9535/Vedanta/vedanta.html He discusses such ideas as : The Quest Apparitional Causation One, Two, Three and Many Changing our Geometry The Breath of Uncertainty Borders of the Universe Life In What Furnace Thy Brain?
