of thought is made up

of knowledge or, as James puts it, bits
of «sciousness», which include
knowledge of other
objects only,
not themselves.
«Each «section»

not - me» as
objects which work out their drama together, but
not yet including or contemplating its own subjective being» (PP1 304).

of the human intellect and
of human intelligence, can be overcome by a biology and a physics that is less mechanistic.

As being can never be studied as an independent
object, the history
of metaphysical thought can
not be without implications for the history
of being:» [E] very science goes through a process
of historical development in which, although the fundamental or general problem remains unaltered, the particular form in which this problem presents itself changes from time to time; and the general problem never arises in its pure or abstract form, but always in the particular or concrete form, determined by the present state
of knowledge or, in other words, by the development

For far from being a deviation from biblical truth, this setting
of man over against the sum total
of things, his subject - status and the
object - status and mutual externality
of things themselves, are posited in the very idea
of creation and

of man meant in the Bible, imposed by his createdness, to be accepted, acted through... In short, there are degrees
of objectification... the question is
not how to devise an adequate language for theology, but how to keep its necessary inadequacy transparent for what is to be indicated by it...» Hans Jonas, Phenomenon
of Life, pp. 258 - 59; cf. also Schubert Ogden's helpful discussion on «Theology and Objectivity,» Journal
of Religion 45 (1965): 175 - 95; Ian G. Barbour, Issues in Science and Religion (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice - Hall, 1966), pp. 175 - 206; and Michael Polanyi, Personal

of experience according to which sense perception is neither the only nor even the primary mode
of experience, but is rather derived from a still more elemental awareness both
of ourselves and
of the world around us» (PP 78).6 On Ogden's analysis, both the classical and this first type
of revisionary empiricism «assume that the sole realities present in our experience, and therefore the only
objects of our certain
knowledge, are ourselves and the other creatures that constitute the world» (PP 79) 7 With these «two more conventional types
of empiricism» he contrasts a «comprehensive» type
of revisionary empiricism distinguished from them by its consideration
of the possibility (and then also by its claim) that the internal awareness it asserts together with the former revisionary type is «the awareness
not merely
of ourselves, and
of our fellow creatures, but also
of the infinite whole in which we are all included as somehow one» (PP 87, 80, 85).

objects, though Cobb might
not wish to claim that the primordial orderings
of eternal
objects are conscious, as Creel claims about God's
knowledge of possibilities.2

objects of knowledge can make sense
of our deeply ingrained conception
of the world as a real nexus
of temporal succession
of cause - effect relationships.
