Philosophy And Revelation

When one writes philosophy, there are certain restraints. One cannot stray into certain areas without good reason. That is simply because philosophy is limited in its "powers". And if the philosopher assumes powers which he/she does not have, or cannot demonstrate, this does not bode well for a metaphysic (namely, a wide-ranging philosophy). Having said this by way of introduction, about a tenth of my recently published metaphysic (it's at The Philosopher, just under CONTENTS, titled Metaphysical Notes) deals with natural revelation, as opposed to supernatural revelation. There, with due caution, I propose that the concepts sin, confession, and repentance (among others) may be brought within the bounds of a metaphysic.
