Does not our access to the imaginative realm depend on the actual one? If we did not have the static latching of the actual realm how far could we ever travel un-latched into the vast and chartless realm of infinite possibility? I mean, would we even have a leg to stand on? [Krimel] Certainly a good empiricist would have to agree that experience is the tinker toy of imagination. But few of us actually live in an actual world any more. Everything I touch right now and everything I can see around me is man made. So how actual is actual? I would say it is actually there but it is actually half material substance and half idealized form in its degenerate state. Where are the static latches in the actual world? If we find them too confining there are vistas of imagination aplenty to wander in. I know I plan to catch Spiderman 3 this weekend. But it seems that in the modern world the conflict is not between the world and how we imagine it should be; but between how I imagine it should be and how others have already imagined it to be. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
