This is a book about dreaming and knowing, and about thinking that
one can ascertain the difference. It is a book about the Bernards
of the world who would have us believe that there is a humanly
uncreated world existing en Boi that freely dis closes its forever
fixed ontology, even though they too must accept that -many of the
worlds we make as we try to under stand ourselves are counterfeit.
It is a book about the real estate of the human mind. The book is
about Leibniz and Kant, and about methods of science. It is also
about what is now called pseudo-science. It tries to show how Kant
struggled to mark the limits of the humanly knowable, and how thi s
strug gle involved him in trying to answer questions of importance
then and now. Some are philosophers' questions: the epistemo
logical status of mathematics, the role of space and time in
knowing, the nature of the conceptual constraints on our ef forts
to hypothesize the possible. Some are questions of per ennial human
interest: Can spirits exist? How is the soul re lated to the body?
How can we legitimately talk about God, if at all? Finally, Kant
teaches that these are all questions bearing on our entitlements in
claiming to know. Leibniz fashioned a way of talking about nature
and super nature that I call the Double Government Methodology."
