[MD] A larger system of understanding

[X Acto]

Platt quoting Wilber:
Moreover, any intellectual proposition about reality must fall into the
following four categories:*

1. Reality is absolute Being
2. Reality is Non-being
3. Reality is both Being and Non-Being
4. Reality is neither Being nor Non-Being

Any one of these propositions that claims to embrace reality must exclude
another, thus limiting its embrace and falling into self-contradiction.
*("The Spectrum of Consciousness" by Ken Wilber, p. 66)


Ron:
Aristotle presented that to have a value centered reality one
must reject contradiction in meaning, for anything to have meaning
it must have value. Contradiction does not have meaning, and that
which does not have meaning has no value and that which has
no value does not exist.

The first proposition "reality is being" fails Wilbers assesment.

What you seem to have trouble understanding is the concept
of self-refferential systems. Which is not qite the same thing
as what Wilber was forwarding.
