Andre:
Hello Ron,dmb:

I had asked about metaphysical significance and status in the sense of what may be included in a metaphysical discussion and what not.

Ron: That which does not have practical value in experience (the good) . Pirsig said it best with I believe "that which has no value does not exist." The best values the ones that have the most value in experience are usually the most metaphysically significant. To a Pragmatist at least.

Andre:
This is fair enough Ron, but aren't you only stressing the 'positive'/the 'good' side i.e. half of reality?
 
Ron:
True,it would seem that way,but bearing in mind that all of reality is competing and conflicting forms of "good"
some forms of good being better than others, there emerges a broader understanding of "negative "  aspects.
