摘要
Joshua Farris usefully applies my distinction between conditioned and de -conditioned philosophy to some limits of science, and the disclosure of the soul. It is argued that further de -conditioning is conducive to answering the profound philosophical questions: What is it to be now? , and What is it to be? but these answers are only adequate when they entail the existence of God. It follows that physicalism, determinism, and naturalism are false, and that science (knowingly or unknowingly) presupposes theology.
