you ever read any John Dewey? A Common Faith or the Quest for Certainty?
-
no, I'm afraid I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to Dewey.

In ACF Dewey describes a faith w/o anything supernatural. Listening to you always reminds me of it.

OK I'll put it on my reading list. Thanks.

What if we see "humans" as the exception? That we have "different rules" than animals/plants striving to survive.
