	Vigor  +  166808 Tue, 06 Dec 05 09:26 AM Thanks Mate, But how about this: The book provides stimulating thoughts and is an engaging read. Although firmly rooted in pantheism his views are very valuable and interesting. To this reviewer, however, pantheism is limiting for a variety of reasons. Further to this I would like to refer the reader to the idea of panentheism as it manifests in the works of Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Krause, Dean Inge and especially Alfred North Whitehead, in particular the last mentioned's magnificent book Process And Reality. http://www.books-online-store.net/node/science/chaos-and-systems/39479_9.html Does not " the above mentioned" act like a noun sometimes?

	pieanne  +  166840 Tue, 06 Dec 05 11:08 AM Oh yes, it's possible, although I'm more familiar with "the latter's". Sorry, I hadn't understood your sentence from that point of view.   pieanne

	MrPedantic  +  166849 Tue, 06 Dec 05 11:36 AM It's better though to hyphenate "last-mentioned", "above-mentioned", etc., as Pieanne suggests. MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...

	Danyoo  +  166968 Tue, 06 Dec 05 06:36 PM I was going to say, the legalese always contain this type of words: Per Florida's Made Whole Doctrine, insurers need only reimburse their insureds to the extent of their insured's legally recoverable loss. State Farm paid the insured the full amount of the insured's property damage claim, minus a $500 deductible.
