Okay, my apologies. I will be more precise and, rather than direct my questions toward any sort of normative conclusions you may or may not have derived from your experience, I will keep them directed towards your personal experience only.. >>>> What of things like reason and logic? >>> >>> What of them? >>> >>> >>>> Should these change in light of the fact that everything is an analogy all >>>> the way down? >>> >>> My understanding of logic and reason had already changed after taking a >>> class in formal logic.

Just asking you philosophical questions.. This is a philosophical forum no? Can we not ask one another questions on our philosophical views? So - back to my original line of enquiry - you mentioned that you attended a class in formal logic - how did your opinion of logic and reason change after that class? I.e. - what were your original views and what are they now? Thanks, -David.
