The philosophical pattern that Lewis sees as underlying, might not be the only pattern it is possible to discern. But that would not be a trite observation. Because it is very significant how convincing a lot of his material is. It has the convincingness of self sufficient ideology, it really comes alive. Science as magic.
All ideas operate in the way of magic.
Comes alive, not just as a speculative hypothesis, but as a whole way of experience. So in getting to criticise this, perhaps we can get down to some nodal point of plausibility Where the way of seeming is revealed in its full seemingness. Lewis on God. His paradoxical inversion of Kant . His reference to William James Varieties of Religious Experience.
