It's just that it seems to me that this kind of peace of mind, what is "worth while", includes a 4th level satisfaction as well as 2nd and 3rd. By that I mean, meaning is wrapped up in a priori conceptualization and some certain schema... Looking at that, talking about that, involves universal conceptualization... it just does. Owning that truth, is just being honest. > Therefore "knowing" for Socrates > Is in the empirical pleasing sense of artistic Practice not an abstract, > universal concept by which we measure a life. > > That's a tricky one for me, as an idealist I believe that concepts ARE empirical. When we try and think, they are just there, like any other datum. In fact, they are the boundaries of the datum! You can take Empiricism all the way down there, but you can't deny that by doing so, you've turned it into the very abstract and universal concept by which you measure life! oops. > And I think that makes a distinct difference > In ones outlook. > > outlook depends upon how high up the mountain you want to climb. Some people fall in love with the view they got, don't look any higher.
