The Topic "Different points of view" in itself is a great subject of discussion where everyone can explore his/her own potentials and knowledge about anything that exists in our Universe/country/society/village/ town/lane/home and above all within his/her own existence. Its like a nuclear chain reaction where every single atom is exited to the extent to utilize its last existence.

I always wonder why we don't know more, if there is so much more to
know. Perhaps the information we are able to carry about is limited
and has to be for reasons beyond current thinking? What religion
becomes as a means of social control is dubious, yet before this it
may be a truly questioning experience.

while most schools of Tibetan
Buddhism do make a synthetic separation, call it void/not-void for
now, ... etc./ ornamentalmind
 
I'm lazy, Orn, especially when it comes to the "meditative religions-
philosophies" named....can you save me some reading and give me a
notion of what is contained in the "void" or whatever else the
different views may care to call it?.... and what is the character or
the special way in which the "synthesis" interaction you speak of
takes place between the two... void .. non-void...

Well Kant is vary verbose. I am told he comes across just as bad in
the original German. If you read his other stuff, he uses plain
speech. It seems that for generation when philosophers do their opus
magnum they are compelled to exclude most readers, leaving only the
anoraks. Hume does exactly the sam job as Kant but without the jargon.
But even Hume was embarrassed by his early Treatise, and wrote the
Enquiry which had more content with half the words.
 
It seems to be the month of White-Wash. TOny is getting his dirty
laundry washed for free, and will come out of this enquiry looking
whiter than white, whilst the Catholic boy buggering wankers are
getting their sins removed with a wave of a cheque book.
