think his faith was very important to him and I 
think he was a confident Catholic and that that 
informs a lot of his views. I am an unconfident 
Anglican so I can’t tell you which ways, but I had 
that sense sometimes when he was getting into a 
metaphysical plane, of dealing with someone who 
didn’t have a lot of doubts.

an Eastern way of looking at the world and an 
Western way of looking at the world. Do you think 
he has anything relevant to say about an Eastern 
way of seeing the world.
