-> Excuse me, Richard, but I think it has been a VERY long time in my
-> search for the truth of existence since I was impressed by the label 
-> "trained philosopher."  When I first read Henri Bergson's _Two Sources 
-> of Religion and Morality_ and Nicolas Berdiaev's _The Meaning of 
-> History (there isn't any, he said other than the hope for redemption of 
-> the world) I was as drawn to such thought as the value of the "open 
-> soul" or "open society" (open toward science and not just mathematical 
-> science).  It was Voegelin, of course, who suggested such reading while 
-> I was right in the midst of graduate work in which the enlightenment of 
-> modernity were generally praised as being the epitome of man's 
-> development rather than the fall into scientism and positivism.  If you 
-> visited McClain's site, Voegelin Study Page, you probably know that 
-> already.  BTW, I was the one who secured the permission of Robert 
-> Heilman (now 94 years of age and calling me, at 80 a "spring chicken," 
-> to allow the chapter in his book to be publisehd on that page.  Fritz 
-> Wagner's site is another fruitful one on Voegelin with a wealth of 
-> quotes from the Collected Works.

Thank you for missing the point, Frank.
