So we have an intuitive faculty. So be it. I am at my core a follower of Plato on the matter- either that, or sensation as the naturalist means it, is at most merely a sub mode of the general intuitive faculty we already have. Phenomenology is inclined to speak more like this, where the scientific understanding is merely a particularized and partial mode of experience more generally.
I will never concede to the scientific reductionist what I don't have to, particularly on the specious argument from the effectiveness of the Sciences. It's overwhelmingly wonderious that anything appears as something at all- evenly the mundanely sensual -and one needn't be backed into a corner.

My BooksIt is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.~Martin Heidegger
