P. 185 "when I look up into the heavens I see only the stars that watched over us when we were born and will watch over us when we die"....

allusion to Immanuel Kant's famous line about natural law?...(natural law which is a backdrop to most Christian theology): "What we know is the starry skies above and the moral order within.".....?

D. (and Dostoevesky) would say this over any materialist understanding of the way of the world.
