Re: The Importance of Nature for Thought
I think your piece on the importance of nature for thought missed the true essence of nature, Oneself.
The separation of mankind from nature is the missing link to the profound thought of what truly is.
We are nature, we don't have to go to a forest to be in it, we are it.
The best place for thought then is to realize or just be this simple truth.
I had hoped that philosophy would one day set us free.
But alas, it cannot even define itself, or simply what truth is.
It is not alone; religion is still searching for God.
As for science, it is stuck in the quagmires of its own uncertainty.
The truth solves them all.
Thanks,
