[MD] in defence of the "relative"

A no less curious use of "empiricism" than "relativism."
But, if language-use is experiential, as Pirsig has to be
committed to saying, then what does that mean for
"experience verified with experience explains more than
what can be said about it"? If "experience" is the broad
category out of which we can distinguish particular types
of experience (e.g., inorganic or intellectual), then how
can your statement make sense?
With Aristotle and all that, I have to apologize, but I didn't
realize we were talking about the meaning of "meaning" and
I still don't have a real grasp on your thought-angle.
