Some further thoughts:

Karl Jaspers had an interesting way of framing the problem. We encounter Being as something that is beyond our ability to fully rationalize, but that nevertheless reveals itself to us in some degree. We are left with reason to orient ourselves, and to create a public forum to share our encounters with Being. But reason can only reflect aspects of the encounter, and is forever trying to glean something about what lies beyond the horizon of consciousness. For Jaspers, the great philosophers can help us to come to terms with our deep yearnings to reach beyond the limitations of reason, and can afford us useful information about what can be gleaned, information that can help us to reason and act more authentically as human beings...
