16 For example: "When transcendental performance is deficient human Presence even to its corporality is delivered up and given over to whatever comes upon it". It is important, however, not to be diverted too easily from a discussion of phenomenology or psychopathology into a discussion which is purely philosophical. We shall see this later.

19 It is to be noted that evidence is evidence only because of the possibility of losing this evidence. In wartime, some evidence goes in to a state of crisis. What are the evidence decisions, what is the evident way? It is not evident! One must set out to seek a response and be able to bear living in uncertainty and simple hope. We see that in such times, one goes back to stable values and takes trouble to support the present evidence to assure existence. The healthy man can live with a minimum of evidence without losing reason; he understands evidence and can keep it present in imagination until the moment when it becomes possible again to bring them into reality.
