Thales: January 2013

 These essays show why religious experience is, as I maintain, just people's own minds at work! Why then would one want to be superstitious? As with full animism, theism= reduced animism, relying on supernatural intent that just is not there!

    Neither Thales of Miletus nor Strato of Lampsacus would have been credulous to believe in those experiences as veridical. They warn about that use of teleology. Leucippus would have noted that necessity accounts for all that.
