I think the reason for writing all these scentences, is that any worldview has to take a position towards any of these themes. It is, if objectivity exists, if they all have their place in reality. But we are only subjectively aware of the themes. As if we have to discover their place.
almost every intellectual has thought about their objective places in reality. From Plato to Locke, Freud, Kant, Lewis, Hitchins, Craig and maybe the youngest arrival O’connor, they all struggled with the place of what we cannot see, but experience.
Maybe the struggle of all these bright men with the themes are enough proof that they exist; maybe the relevant question is where do they exist?
