Experience, Knowledge and Reality with Gerald Filson In this presentation, Dr. Filson presents three main ideas. First, how we experience the world, by way of emotion and imagination, which is often very different than how we know the world in its relationship to causes and reason. This is a way to understand religion as complementary to science. As Frank Myhill, a mathematician, noted, “there is no non-poetical description of reality,” as the Revelation, full as it is of metaphors, is how we understand our experiences in life.
