Hey David,
David said:
Well you see I would say that an ironist does not believe in hard
distinctions so that when a metaphysical distinction is being made it is a
soft distinction but being mis-represented as a hard distinction by a
non-ironist, so that means that there is no meaning to soft either really,
so we have moved on and as a moved on ironist I am quite happy to be a
critical metaphysician in contrast to a naive one. Get it? I mean don't act
like a dogmatic ironist please You see SOM was poetry all along so an MOQ
poetry can have just as much multi-disciplinary impact as the old SOM, cos
it was all done with good old metaphors all along.
Matt:
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, there's no problem there. The only
reason I was using the hard/soft distinction is because I was saying how a
pragmatist looks through metaphysical eyes, not her own eyes. Though you'll
have to excuse me for continuing to not use any form of "metaphysics" to
describe what I or other ironists do. It just gets too confusing for me.
Matt
