The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

W: LP: GRP: CSL: The Pilgrim's Regress

The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity Reason and RomanticismThe Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity Reason and Romanticism by C.S. Lewis

I thought that I had read this book by C.S. Lewis, but now that I am into it most of the way, I find I have not read it before. I plan to re-read this book a few years after I will finish it soon. The allegorical character of the story is clear, but I think that Lewis is telling the story of his own journey toward Faith in Christ. I have not read much of Lewis' scholarly writings (on literature and philosophy, except the writings that relate to Christian apologetics), so I know that I am missing some allusions and satire of various philosophical positions. When I have come to a better understanding of ALL of Lewis' writings, I shall revisit this story, and I know that I will enjoy it even more.

No time for deep analysis now, but the next time...maybe there is a paper or two to be written on some of the ideas and concepts.:}
