Modernism fails again!

"The Western empirical, materialistic tradition of science takes the stance that if something cannot be observed and measured it does not exist. To study the full range of consciousness, this archaic and human-centered view must give way to the possibility that the range of reality extends beyond ordinary human sensory-perceptual experience" (p. 449).

I'm excited about this quote because, it's not from a theology or philosophy book--it's from my (secular) neuropsychology text.
