Since religious analogy's have been borught to the surface, I would like to
add a little comment/question.

While I was reading Huxley's book titled, "Island," I found a rather
interesting quotation from Spinoza: "The more a man knows about individual
objects, the more he knows about god."

Huxley translates this to mean: The more man knows about himself in
realtion to every kind of expreience, the greater the chance of him
realizing who in fact he is.

I'm just curious what a metaphysics of Quality analysis of this quotation
would mean. Maybe replace the would God with good, and man's knowledge of
individual objects to intellectual quality? Just a suggestion.
