"The world is indeed there, and is as it is; but we do not have access to it as it is in itself, unperceived by us. We are aware of it only as it impinges upon us and is perceived and inhabited by us in terms of many kinds and levels of disposition meaning." ("On Religious Experience," in J. J. MacIntosh and H. A. Meynell, edd, Faith, Scepticism and Personal Identity, U. of Calgary Press, 1994)
