To sum up, there's a place for metaphor and poetry in philosophy, but
metaphysics is not the place. If we're aiming to propose a new and unique

Appreciate the question, Marsha.
Hi Ham, Marsha and all,
Before Aristotle explained ³Metaphysics², he explained ³Pshchology², how we
know things. He claimed that we know things by abstraction.
I guess I am stuck with that methodology.
Nicoll commenting in Psychological Commentaries states: ³To know and to be
conscious are not the same.² Pirsig proposes an undefined DQ in
metaphysics. Are Persig and Nicoll are on the same page with metaphor,
analogy, gesture?.
Ham denies a distinction between the ³conscious² and ³knowledge², and the
undefined in philosophy cannot be used in metaphysics.
IMO I have to use philosophy to go to Metaphysics!
Joe
