    Good and Evil

    Perhaps the great battle between good and evil is not always fought somewhere beyond us. Perhaps it takes place in the almost invisible space between an impulse…and a decision. Between what has happened to me…and what I choose to do with it. Between the person I have been…and the person I am becoming. And perhaps that is why freedom is so frightening. Because in the end, the question of good and evil cannot remain merely: What kind of world is this? Eventually it becomes: What kind of person am I becoming within it?

    The Inner World and the Outer World

    We spend enormous amounts of time exploringthe world outside us. We've photographed distant galaxies. Split atoms. Sent machines to other planets. And yet there is a place much closer than Marswhich remains astonishingly mysterious. The world inside us.

    Why are we here?

    Lewis reminds us that the deepest desires ofthis world may point beyond it. Merton reminds us that we can spend an entirelifetime becoming somebody who isn't actually us. Frankl reminds us that even where ourcircumstances cannot be chosen, our response can still contain meaning. And Berdyaev brings us back to creativity. To freedom. To eternity.

    What does it mean to know?

    “Knowledge takes place in being and is an event within being.” Now, that's a rather philosophical sentence. But the idea behind it is actually quite extraordinary. We normally imagine knowledge as though the world were over there — andwe were standing over here, looking at it. And gradually we acquire knowledge about it. That works remarkably well for science. But philosophy begins to ask something slightly different.
