    David,

    David said:
    Taking a holist stance is metaphysics, how does Rorty justify his holism?

    Matt:
    Don't see why holism is metaphysical. Actually, I don't see why anything has to be metaphysical. UNLESS, you take metaphysics to mean "system of beliefs" or "root bottom assumptions" or something similar.

    David said:
    Also, I can't imagine Rorty talking in some of the ways you suggest below. I might dig out some interview quotes at the weekend.

    Matt:
    I'd be interested. Particularly because I don't think anything I said here was out of the ordinary (though the things I've said about mysticism and Rorty are).
