Subject: Re: [MD] The Intellectual Gauntlet
(BTW - David M's point about internal / external views is relevant to
this too - and of course one of the reasons the individual / social
confusion keeps arising when we are talking - SOMistically - about
intellectual / social distinctions.)

Greetings Ian,
Maybe you are pointing to my rather cryptic remark about David's
Eastern/inner and Western/outer post (Sorry David!). Such a comment would
only make sense if one had a clear understanding of both Eastern and Western
points-of-view. A statement like "the eastern mystic may be happy to sit
meditating whilst the world
goes to hell." shows a depth of ignorance of an important half of the MOQ's
East/West synthesis.
Nagarjuna obliterates subject/object dualism in a manner that shouldn't be
missed. This leaves the air clean and fresh for a new world-view
experience. Many of the problems this list is having "defining things"
would melt away. The subject/object pov stays intact but can be seen as a
workable method in a conventional world not reality itself.
