I add: BTW is there anybody out there (e.g. Justin) who can briefly explain Kurt Godel's ontological argument for the existence of God to me in? I studied foo-foo Continental and Ancient Phil and can't handle the modal logic. Stick a modal operator in there and I am lost.

I was really blown away to discover relatively recently that Godel was a mystic. I think there is a point at which it is very easy for positivistic/nominalistic approaches to pass over into mysticism (Hume inspiring Schleirmacher, Wittgenstein).
