Marsha asked dmb:
 What does "Unlike subject-object metaphysics the Metaphysics of Quality does not insist on a single exclusive truth."  (LILA, Chapter 8) mean to you?


dmb says:
It's a rejection of objective truth, a rejection of the correspondence theory of truth and an endorsement of pluralism. But that certainly does NOT mean that truth can include incoherent nonsense or self-serving bullshit. Rejecting a single exclusive truth does not mean rejecting things like agreement with experience, logical consistency, explanatory power, clarity and other kinds of intellectual quality.

It does NOT mean that Marsha gets to make up whatever she likes and then call it truth.
