Ron to Steve and dmb:
"Us" certainly does have metaphysical status because it has practical meaning in experience. Steve to Andre (in a previous post): It would only be so if I gave metaphysical significance to the will in describing this as an act of willing. Of course I didn't and would never think of doing that. Andre: Pardon my ignorance gentlemen but can someone clarify for me what criteria is used to determine (hihi!) when something is metaphysically 'significant' or has metaphysical 'status'? If metaphysics is a branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of the universe and 'being'(from wiki) in other words "Reality" what can be 'legitimately' considered as lacking 'status' or 'significance' for metaphysical purposes? I'd be most grateful to get clarity on this. Ron: That which does not have practicle value in experience (the good) . Pirsig said it best with I believe "that which has no value does not exist." The best values the ones that have the most value in experience are usually the most metaphysicaly significant. To a Pragmatist at least. ..
