5.0 out of 5 stars
must read for the post-modernist and spiritual seeker,
By Jonathan "reader" (bristol, ri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philosophy of As If: A System of the Theoretical, Practical and Religious Fictions of Mankind (International Library of Psychology, Philosophy and Scientific Method) (Hardcover)
vaihinger solves the delema of the egnostic brilianly. his basic premise is that we can create a descriptive fiction in order to discuss the unknowable and the very complex. the fiction then allows us to discuss and deal with such things as systems and the paradox of systems theory that ken wilber notes. this theory is liberating for the person who feels he/she must be epistemolically cautious and yet wants to disuss and "understand" such things as god spirits and systems.
