A ‘non-religious’ view of Dietrich Bonhoeffer -- #252

[October 2000 journal entry]
The anchoring/centering conviction for me is the recognition of a human spirit (Geist) that transcends detection/demonstration by the scientific method. In other words, there could be no scientific method without an independent/observing/imaginative/reflective ‘I’. This ‘more’ about being human is simultaneous to/with natural phenomenon, but not directly subject to scientific verification/examination.
