Every object and every being seems to me to cry out the profound meaning of the world, this very world we doubt and take so much for granted at the same time.

I refuse the dichotomy: Mind/Nature. Thoughts are real. I see nature as the sum of what is possible and what is human. The project of all thoughts is made manifest and reflected in all the states of life. We could say that abstraction is specialisation, a focalisation on one of the aspects of life. But if you carry it futher, it merges into the whole, hence enlightening it. As language merges into reality and fusions with it.
