Dear Sidney,

you write:

>In addition to your questions for the philosophy of science, I found
>myself adding, "What can we hope, within the limits of logic?"
...
>Would you accept this additional question, to be dealt with only from a
>scientific point of view?

Yes. I am asking myself similar questions and I am very interested in your
book "The Logic of Hope: Extensions of Kant's View of Religion,"(Editions
Rodopi, Amsterdam/ Atlanta, 1994).

My approach up to now has been to follow the sequence proposed by Kant with
his 3 questions at the end of CpR. And I am still busy with the first
question, "what can I know", trying to construct a viable interpretation of
Kant's solution to the problem of objects conforming to (the faculty of)
knowledge, where this conformation is distinguished in a constitutive and a
regulative conformation (see my mail of Jan. 15 to the Kant-List).

Best regards,

Marco.
