Ich Muste还das wissen aufheben，um zum Glauben Platz zu bekomman(所以我发现有必要超越知识，为信仰腾出空间‘)。伊曼纽尔·康德。形而上学在形成宗教观点方面的耻辱(上一章认为)我们建立了一幅关于现实的多方面的图景，其中的元素逐渐开始以一种相互加强的方式结合在一起。换个比喻，宗教世界观不是一套孤立的教义，而是一个复杂的隐退结构，是实践、信仰和承诺的精细网状网络，以连贯的方式将我们人类经验的许多不同方面联系在一起。这种世界观不仅在狭隘的知识层面上得到表达，而且在一系列丰富的象征性和比喻的话语中得到表达；使用和理解这种话语就是认识到，在宗教中，就像在人类生活的许多最重要的领域一样，意义的运作不是通过将一对一与他们声称要描述的事实相关联的直白的陈述，而是通过一个错综复杂的分层过程，在这个过程中，有意识和无意识的共鸣和典故的相互作用不断丰富我们的理解。引起人们对这种更全面、更成熟的理解模式的注意，可能会激怒那些专业人士，他们致力于将所有哲学话语简化为一种严谨、没有歧义的模板，模仿自然科学中使用的语言；但是，尽管这种严谨的语言本身没有错，但似乎没有充分的理由将其延伸到其自然领域之外。
Ich muste also das Wissen aufheben, um zum Glauben Platz zu bekommen (‘So I found it necessary to go beyond knowledge in order to make room for faith’). Immanuel Kant. THE STIGMA OF METAPHYSICS In forming a religious outlook (the previous chapter argued) we build up a multi-faceted picture of reality, the elements of which gradually begin to cohere together in a mutually reinforcing way. To change the metaphor, a religious worldview is not an isolated set of doctrines, but a complex retiform structure, a fine-meshed net of praxis and belief and commitment that links together in a coherent fashion many diverse aspects of our human experience. Such a worldview finds expression not just at the narrowly intellectual level, but in a rich array of symbolic and figurative discourse; to use and to understand such discourse is to appreciate that in religion as in many of the most important areas of human life, meaning operates not through bald statements that correlate one-to-one with the facts they purport to describe, but rather through an intricate process of layering, where our understanding is constantly enriched by the interplay of conscious and unconscious resonances and allusions. Drawing attention to this ‘fuller and riper’ mode of understanding may irritate those who are professionally committed to reducing all philosophical discourse to an austere, ambiguity-free template modelled on the kinds of language used in natural science; but while there is nothing wrong in itself with such austere language, there seems no sound reason to stretch it beyond its natural province.
