Notes to Andrea, Chris, Bard, Roger,
Andrea, care to tell us how the discrete/continuous distinction is
"metaphorical?"
(I asked you and all what "metaphor" meant and you've been rushing ahead to
answer a different question, i.e. whether you'd call MOQ metaphorical.
Seems to me I can never understand your answer to this second question until
I have an idea about what you think on the first.)
Chris, what does this mean: "Metaphor enables us to describe qualitative
differences in a general 'sameness'."?
Bard, I agree that no lived truth can be understood as *merely* metaphor -
but this does rather demand that we say what metaphor really *is*, if we
want to say (for example) that I Ching isn't merely metaphor. This was my
initial question.
Roger - like to have your thoughts on my own positive proposals about
metaphor (completly overlooked by other postings).
