If everywhere, why not in man?
If everywhere, why not in everyday things?
If history affects man's capacity to realize and comprehend this divinity, why would it not be an object of philosophy?
As for the last sentence, yes. So what?

----- Original Message ----- Bertrand Russell "Considered purely as a philosopher, Marx has grave shortcomings. He is too practical, too much wrapped up in the problems of his time. His purview is confined to this planet, and, within this planet, to Man. It has been evident that Man has not the cosmic importance which he formerly arrogated to himself. No man who has failed to assimilate this fact has a right to call his philosophy scientific. Marx professed himself an atheist, but retained a cosmic optimism which only theism could justify."
-Bertrand Russell "A History of Western Philosophy" (1945) Book Three, Part II, Chapter XXVII Karl Marx p.788 ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
