Platt, If you take any statement as "true" then yes. but the conversation is about meaning
not "Truth" .. by your logic any statement of truth is true What you are doing is taking a particular meaning of the term as a logical absolute in a rhetorical manner to persuade others of your point of view.. if all statements regarding truth are taken to be true it makes a plurality of absolutes....a fine illustration of relative, contextual meaning. whether you realize it or not. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, February 2, 2010 12:49:17 PM Subject: Re: [MD] What does Pirsig mean by metaphysics?

Accordingly, "All this is just an analogy" is an absolute truth proclaiming its own universality. Once admitted as "Truth" (with a capital "T") the entire edifice of relativity is overthrown.
