Krimel Am I are chiming in here to support the adoption of baseless claims ? Whaddya think ? No, of course not, but a metaphysical "base" can never be very firm or entirely provable / falsifiable itself. Every metaphysics has a hole in it - I used to say - just some have bigger holes than others.
There is a big pragmatic space (an excluded middle) between something based in objective falsifiable logic, and something which is "a literary exercise ... just a bunch of ideas [that] do not need to have any contact with the world of experience ... require no criteria for assessing them" As a pragmatist, a metaphysical base is as good as the world model it can support. It's as solid and the structures erected on top of it, and no more. Causation is not a simple one-way affair.
