[MD] What is metaphysics to you?

[David M]

The above were designed for one purpose--to elaborate my position on 
"metaphysics," which is Janus-faced because I have two philosophical 
parents.  Mom (Pirsig) likes the word "metaphysics" and uses it freely to 
describe his philosophy.  Dad (Rorty) doesn't like the word "metaphysics" 
and generally uses it to describe what he's critiquing.  What to do?


Hi Matt

That's lovely, it's good to see you being so fair about both your mum and 
dad. I want to be fair to them too, bit in a slightly
different way, see later email. You're a very self-conscious son, every one 
in the family is very proud of you.

Your half brother
