Trevelyan's Philosophy

The Peregrine, CHAPTER VIII.

When the Nomad Nicki asks the Coordinator Trevelyan what he wants out of life, he replies:

"'Life itself... And that isn't a paradox. Experience, understanding, adjustment and harmony - but struggle, too, making physical reality over to a pattern.'" (p. 69)

What pattern? I agree with everything except that last word.

Today, and maybe tomorrow, posts will be short as I write and publish them quickly before the lap top misbehaves.

Kaor, Paul!

The history of philosophy I read, at least in part, was Frederick C. Copleston, S.J., A HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY. Which is apparently still used today. The massiveness of that was rather daunting!

And I wonder how the late Fr. Copleston would have analysed Trevelyan Micah's comments?

Ad astra! Sean
