Reason vs Consciousness
#11
RE: Reason vs Consciousness
All good stuff. Thank you for explaining your views. It is all rather subjective and personal, isn't it, as opposed to hard empirical fact. My only comment is that your view of existentialism seems to focus on the negative guys...Sarte and company. Kierkegaard is an excellent example of a thinker who went beyond reason to find the "truth"... for himself at least. The Christian existentialists and phenomenologists (I judge or damn not based upon religion) also found "knowledge" through non empirical means. Ditto Bergson and the great film critic Bazin.

No need for the defensive tone. My apologies if my post came off as an argument. I was merely attempting to ask a neutral question. Loved the Spielberg clip. PM exactly.
