Yours is not a position of epistemic humility, but rather the synthetic product of Anglo-Dutch imperial sophistry, a cultivated paralysis of reason disguised as philosophical nuance. The agnostic, content to balance on a conceptual fencepost while history burns around him, is the final triumph of the postmodern outlook, that is, the man who confesses no knowledge, seeks no knowledge, and congratulates himself for his own noncommittal ignorance. Congratulations! Look how smart you are! Like a courtier of the Delphic cults or a victim of the British Opium Wars, you are sedated by relativism. You are a cocaine sniffer. You presume no responsibility to resolve anything. To claim neutrality before the question of the Good, of the Divine, of Purpose, is to abdicate your birthright as a creature of reason. You are a conscious and thinking individual who devotes only to wasting yourself. without resolution to any question, especially as important a question as to existence and its implications, as Plato, Cusa, and Kepler well knew, the human species stagnates. The Classical tradition, from Socrates to Leibniz, proceeds from the premise that man can know, must know, and through rigorous method and dialogue, will know. If you have any allegiance to truth, drop your ironic mask and rejoin the project of human discovery.
