One may, with Hartshorne and other rationalist philosophers, press rationality to the point of postulating certain necessary truths for which we have no conceivable alternatives. Or, like Buddhist thinkers of many periodsand like Wieman, tooone may find in the very conditions of contingency a religious significance that informs the whole quality of life as lived.
