04 Episode Four Reason and its Limits

It doesn’t take a Socrates to figure out that there may be some kind of connection between all those tools of knowledge spoken of in the last episode, and reason. In that the process of acquiring good knowledge very often entails using logic to determine truth from falsity, consistency from inconsistency, and contradiction from non-contradiction.

But the heart of this episode is actually an exploration of where the limits of reason might be, which amounts to a kind of discovering of what reason can and can’t do for spiritual people.
