Hello Scott, I think i should add something to my last post to you.
Owen Barfield regards everything to be conscious.
I think that is a correct statement of his philosophical position.
You remind us, quite correctly, that Barfield indicates changes that have occured in Human consciousness since Homer. You remind us that we experience things in a different way to Homerians.
So we have two itmes here - consciousness and change (evolution) in consciousness.
I get the impression that you regard consciousness as the many and intellect as the One
You equate intellect with the One or Quality.
So intellect is the driving force behind the evolution of many conscious states since Homer.
What you have here is a Metaphysics of Intellect unless i have severely misunderstood your position, in which case i apologise Scott.
We may be talking two different languages then, because i view intellect as emergent from previous states of static quality.
Thank you,
Allen
