At The Limit

18 Ramadhan, 1442

Reading Ed Feser's Five Proofs of the Existence of God makes me feel pretty darn stupid and quite clever all at once. I suppose it's the prof's remarkable ability to write so clearly about philosophical ideas that accounts for me managing to feel clever, and it's the fact that those ideas are right at the edge of what my limited brain can deal with that accounts for the sense of stupidity.

Both seem to me useful feelings; and it's the engendering of actual feelings in relation to the ideas expounded that is fascinating. I can't help but see signs in that phenomenon, as visible as all the signs that haunt creation.
