Dear Bodvar:
"Unlike subject-object metaphysics the Metaphysics of Quality does not
insist on a single exclusive truth. If subjects and objects are held
to be the ultimate reality then we're permitted only one construction
of things - that which corresponds to the 'objective' world - and all
other constructions are unreal. But if Quality or excellence is seen
as the ultimate reality then it becomes possible for more than one set
of truths to exist. Then one doesn't seek the absolute Truth.' One
seeks instead the highest quality intellectual explanation of things
with the knowledge that if the past is any guide to the future this
explanation must be taken provisionally; as useful until something
better comes along. One can then examine intellectual realities the
same way one examines paintings in an art gallery, not with an effort
to find out which one is the 'real' painting, but simply to enjoy and
keep those that are of value. There are many sets of intellectual
reality in existence and we can perceive some to have more quality
than others, but that we do so is, in part, the result of our
history and current patterns of values."
