[MD] subject/object: pragmatism

[ian glendinning]

Gav,

Careful with that knife, Aristotle, as Wordsworth said "we murder to dissect".

You're right Gav words of the right quality can, and regularly do in
the hands of artists, reveal the reality of experience through
language. The problem is therefore as you say, not with using
language, but with the presumption that it works in analytical ways.
(This is what I was alluding to with the Wittgenstien joke at
Russell's expense.)

Miller too. Good stuff
