	The Principles of Friesian Philosophy
		This allows Friesian epistemology to accommodate a hermeneutic dimension of interpretation and reinterpretation, with the common sense limitation that the interpretations of synthetic propositions must be recognized as grounded by immediate knowledge in order to be true.
		Similarly, Friesian epistemology combines both the coherence and the correspondence theories of truth: the coherence of mediate with immediate knowledge, but then the correspondence of mediate knowledge to the empirically real phenomenal objects that are present in immediate knowledge.
		That God might ask Abraham to sacrifice his son, or that Jesus might take the sins of the world upon himself in the Crucifixion, or that Salvation might be by "faith alone," as separately taught by Luther and Shinran, are all aspects of religion that could not be captured either by morality or by aesthetics.
