Useful Ideas On Aspects For
Asking a skeptic “why not be open to hope?” is like asking “when did you stop beating your wife?” It contains an unstated dark and unsupported allegation: that a naturalistic, rational belief system closes you from the possibility of hope. Just as with Christians and other believers, New Agers often justify their beliefs by trying to limit any definition of existential hope to the supernatural. That is both false and risky. False, because hope for natural joys is no less meaningful — we hope for a rewarding life, a painless death, warm memories of us in our communities, a legacy of leaving the world a better place, a good life for surviving loved ones, etc. Risky, because such important earthly aspirations are devalued when religionists insist true fulfillment can’t come from these alone, and that there must be “something more.” Take my hypothetical friends Leon and Lisa. Leon is a Christian and Lisa is a New Ager; both are going through a rough patch and need some hope in their lives. Adding to Leon’s troubles is a nagging suspicion that he’s losing his faith. Lisa is torn by growing wariness of woo and appreciation for science. How is it helpful to tell them that they would close themselves off to hope if they give in to their rational minds? Must they be frightened by their skepticism? Should they try to pretend they believe something which they know in their hearts they do not, as so many do out of fear there’s no healthy alternative? Why not instead teach them that a naturalistic philosophy can also be an uplifting path that doesn’t require smothering their inner healthy skeptic? More troublesome is Burton’s casual line, said with confidence that we’ll all be nodding along: None of us know anything about anything, really. Burton isn’t asking us to be “open to the possibility of hope,” so much as she’s asking us to reject the hope we can know anything about anything. Really.
