That's why there's a need for metaphysics.

I totally agree.

"Science" simply has no method to deal with spiritual matters that are so central to ordinary human experience, "the human condition," which seems to be universal as far back as human historical experience goes, cross-culturally.

What post-modernism is trying to do, it seems to me, is to expunge this living history from human memory for all subsequent time....

Man's experience counts for nothing; God counts for nothing..... Thus nothing can mean anything.

And God's free and rational creatures are supposed to live in a situation like this?

Rational creatures, it seems to me, cannot do such a thing.

Thank you so very much, dear shibumi, for your penetrating insights!

"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to them being disqualified by the accident of death."
- G.K. Chesterton

Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
