SA:  What 'original statement' do you mean?

Ron:
> it involves reaching conclusions about unobserved 
> things on the basis of what has been observed.

SA:  "conclusions about "unobserved things" by
"observed"?  How does unobserved conclude observed?  I
don't understand this statement.

Ron:
> We all do this here, even pirsig is guilty of it
> When he posits that value accounts for all reality.
> This is what I grapple with. It would seem
> That all philosophy is inductive to some extent.


SA:  It would seem, without understanding what you
meant in the first two statements I commented upon I'm
not able to follow up on what you mean here.  Let's
start over.  What did you mean above?


SA
