The Flimsy Edifice and Façade of Knowledge

In this brief essay I outline why one should consider knowledge to not be on a firm footing. It is riddled by the possibility that nature can change its nature i.e. the miraculous may occur or even nature itself as miraculous. I argue that nature (the external world) can be seen as an illusion, that knowledge is always human knowledge subject to the biological limitations of humans, to cultural relativism and the inherent subjectivity of all knowledge systems, including the scientific. I conclude that this need not cause fear in the notion that there is simply no foundation, no grand narrative, but rather accept the vacuum as the mystery, the invisible Infinite that supports the material universal, such is the Uncaused Cause, the Creator. I conclude that such acceptance will yield a knowledge in which societies will flourish leading to less greed, violence and deceit.
