    Hi DMB

    Again you assert that Rorty embraces a subject-object
    metaphysics, I'd just like to confirm that you have not
    convinced me.

    DMB: Pirsig's idea of truth is specifically intellectual static quality.

    DM: I take the construction of abstract static patterns as being
    a creative activity. I assume this has to be done via the medium of a
    language.
    I guess this has to end up with all the consequences that are associated
    with
    Rorty and post-modernism. Nice to have you on board DMB, welcome to
    the club. Mind you as more of a critical realist myself I think that the
    construction
    of abstract static patterns can also be used to re-examine our experience
    and attempt
    to involve nature/Being in a question and answer dialogue, with a lot of
    critical worry
    about the problem that nature/Being is being asked to answer in a language
    we have
    constructed.

    regards
    David M
