Agenda:
“Reason is the need to understand existence, that is, the need for an adequate, total explanation of existence. This explanation cannot be found within the horizon of life’s experience…The summit of reason’s conquest is the perception of an unknown unreachable presence, to which all human movement is destined, because it depends upon it. It is the idea of mystery.” (The Religious Sense, Chapter 11).
“Our very first sense is that of facing a reality which is not ours, which exists independently of us, and upon which we depend. Empirically translated, it is the original perception of a given…If I am attentive, that is, if I am mature, I cannot deny that the greatest and most profound evidence is that I do not make myself…I am given.” (The Religious Sense, Chapter 10).
How do we experience this path of reason, which guides us from encountering reality to recognising it as a sign? What allows us to keep an original stance toward reality, without reducing it to our own interpretations?
