Gabriel’s book renders that hope faint. In fact, it really argues that it’s a basic category error even to imagine that everything could be expressed in materialist terms. When answers to the mysteries of human consciousness are found, they will have to be located at least in large part beyond the merely material. What that part is, Gabriel doesn’t spell out in any satisfactory way. But if chipping away at a mind-numbing fallacy is a good step toward an answer, then Gabriel has provided us with that.

Human senses, and human comprehension, are limited.

There’s no logical reason, other than solipsism, to assert that human comprehension of what constitutes the “merely material,” is not also limited.

Wow, what heights of intelligence, which I could say, as Plato did, the intelligible is not the perceptible, nor the perceptible the intelligible, or again, the relative is not the correlative nor the correlative relative, or again, the point is that which has no part.

Man, that would really take brains to do.
