"For a Renewal of an Old Departure in Ethics," by Henry Veatch, and "Traditional Reason and Modern Reason," by Francis Parker (both from Alvin Plantinga's collection Faith and Philosophy: Philosophical Studies in Religion and Ethics) are available as downloadable PDFs from the Recoveries section of my website: www.thornwalker.com/recoveries.

Two questions occur to me:

(1) Is math-based science the only or the most excellent form of knowledge?

(2) Is it possible to arrive at your position using math-based science?

So why don't we do it? Surely there wouldn't be unsurmountable copyright problems. All it takes is for someone to provide a copy and someone to do the work. To quote Francis Parker: "Anything approaching a fully satisfactory explanation of these phenomena [of knowledge] requires the co-operative efforts of all those who believe that there is a world of real existence independent of human minds and that this real existence can be truly known as it really is."

Mr. Bissell -- If you can provide texts to other articles not on-line elsewhere by Veatch (or by Francis Parker, whose "Realistic Epistemology" is also posted), I will be happy to consider coding and posting them as well.
