"The children of God should not have any other country here below but the universe itself, with the totality of all the reasoning creatures it ever has contained, contains, or ever will contain. That is the native city to which we owe our love." --Simone Weil

Of the many brain books out there, I think you might enjoy.. on being certain, by Robert Burton. It deals with the addiction to being right, and also seems to connect with Hegel, who also is concerned with the sense of certainty, knowledge from mystical sources, role of skepticism, etc.
ReplyDeleteHi Burk,
ReplyDeleteJust started on the book you mention. Fascinating stuff - and, I think, relevant to some of the discussions here. Thanks for mentioning it.
