ABSTRACT
We know, collectively, a great deal about our world, though our knowledge is also limited. Certain phenomena are intractable, even though they fit well in our general understanding of reality. Limit questions regarding science and reality will not find a definite answer, at least not with the tools provided by science. In a book of aphorisms, The Aristos (1980: 20), the novelist John Fowles gave a positive appreciation of such limitations to our knowledge.
