Indeed... we may have made a mistake in our historical movement towards a total rejection of metaphysical speculation in favor of the at hand... we may have acted prematurely and out of too much impatience and yearning for absolutes.
I think metaphysical speculation is coming back into the picture and for good: "This discipline may be called theology, because the principles of beings and the first and most perfect causes of things are what is most of all divine. (Asclepius, *In Metaph*. 4.1–3) we do not know the first and most perfect causes of things..... and they may be of a non-reductionist and non-external nature. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
