Investigation 2: Faith & Reason
The nervous system does far more than simply keep us alive.
It opens a window through which we come to know the world.
Throughout this Investigation, you discovered how receptors, sensory neurons, the spinal cord, and the brain work together to transform information from the external and internal worlds into your experience of reality.
Science explains how this remarkable process occurs.
Now you’re invited to explore another question: What might these discoveries tell us about ourselves, truth, and the meaning of being human?
Continuing the Conversation
- Science investigates the biological processes that make perception possible.
- Reflection & Meaning asks what those discoveries reveal about ourselves and the lives we choose to live.
- Philosophy explores questions about knowledge, truth, and the human person.
- Theology considers these same questions in light of Scripture and the Christian tradition.
Together, these perspectives provide a richer understanding of what it means to be human.
When you’re ready, begin the Faith & Reason discussion.
