Cusa
I think Cusa is telling us that we don't know what we thing we do. He is trying to relate this to questions such as whether or not there is a God, where life began, what is our purpose, and so on. The only thing we can say for certain that we know is that we know absolutely nothing. Cusa said that true wisdom lies in recognizing human ignorance. The only way to really know God is through intuition, not through the mind. I do agree with him on this. What I am not sure I agree on is him wanting us to know and understand that God does exist, but He is incomprehensible to us.
