Reason not always the best way of “knowing.”
Just finished Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.
The character Levin, was Tolstoy as he saw himself. Read these three quotes.
816 – …he had been horrified, not so much at death as at life without the slightest knowledge of whence it came, wherefore, why, and what it was.
817 – “he felt vaguely that what he called his convictions were not only ignorance, but were a way of thinking that made the knowledge needed impossible.”
828 – Reason could not discover love for the other, because it’s unreasonable. ‘Yes pride…and not only the pride of reason, but the stupidity of reason. And above all – the slyness, precisely the slyness, of reason. Precisely the swindling of reason.’
Levin despairs of life, because he doesn’t know why he exists. But he realizes that his hyperrational bent perhaps prevents him from knowing the deepest truths. He begins to suspect (like moral psychologists are learning today) that our reason can be quite deceptive and isn’t the only guide or even the best way to arrive at certain truths. I encouraged the PAX to be open to other ways of knowing truth.
