Hi Ian, Ian said: I see violent agreement on the middle ground that MoQ provides. Any need to "attack" (or defend) Rorty just seems spurious ?
Matt: I'm sorry, Ian, while on the one hand your constant, long-standing effort to find middle ground and the like is commendable, on the other hand, it is starting to sound edgy and nullifying. As if you're going to start arguing that people should stop arguing. There's certainly a balancing act in all this (arguments, debates, conversations, etc.), but agreements, or what have you, can only be reached _through_ the conversations being had by motivated participants, not by fiat from someone that wants the conversations to stop. In other words, "spurious" is not the word you're looking for. You seem to have floated so high into the ether that everything's turned grey. _That's_ relativism. Relativism is pure Objectivism, pure Omniscience, just as the Blue Dude in Watchmen displayed so well. The more he knew, the less humanity he had. There's nothing _spurious_ about attacking or defending Rorty, or any other set of opinions (unless, of course, one's take a God/Buddha's-eye view of the world)--there are only good and bad attacks or defenses, good or bad opinions.
