Hi Joe,
Yes, unknowable in the sense that there is a known and knower, so not "conceptually knowable." How about known through direct perception? I have stated that DQ can be directly experienced and known like one knows the tea is hot when one is drinking it. Can this be true? Problem is that I can directly perceive, in such a manner, that there is a coiled snake ahead of me in the road, only to find out later that such certainty was unfounded and what I experienced was merely a coiled rope. On discovering that what I was seeing was, indeed, a coiled rope, what I do know with certainty was that it was NOT a coiled snake. This is why I accept the idea that the best way to discover Truth is by discovering what is false. But having written the above, I will leave the issue open for further investigation. Perhaps Steve Hagen's book will offer some insight on the subject of perceptions.
