“The rationalism of a frog living at the bottom of a well is to deny the existence of mountains. This is logic of a kind perhaps but it has nothing to do with reality.” - Frithjof Schuon

Here is a different quote on logic and faith:
“Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can’t see them.” — Steve Eley
The rational frog would also deny the existence of Santa Claus.
However, without a clear definition of the word “existence”, his statements are meaningless.
Peter
Loool !!! Cool !!!
uh, did theses blind persons knew about “symmetry” ?
“Plato referred to symmetry as the principe of the universe ordonnance, meaning that all in the nature is regulated by symmetry and thus the humans actions are also directed by symmetry. It’s explains why we tend to “good” or to “beauty” and thus “truth” ; this is something that rejoices our heart.”
part of a discussion that I had with St Thomas
