JC: Jon, it is your own two-dimensional view conflationary view of logicism that
is the problem. As I said before, you have constructed a straw man, at least
so it appears to me. I see the view that you are rejecting as 'richer' than
your own view as I have seen it so far, not more impoverished. But perhaps
we are talking past each other somehow, in which case my warning is still
justified.
JA: You have suspected me of not reading what I read several times already --
and that's alright -- suspicion of one another's hermeneutics can lend
a ruddy instincture to inquiry -- but at least when you pose it that
way you reduce it to a simple empirical matter, that is, if we count
reaching out to a library shelf to see if the ismatists in question
wrote what they wrote a form of empirical test, which it can be.
Back to the ScareQuo, and the Yellow Brick Road ...
JC: Good God, Jon, I was being generous, assuming that you didn't
read what you seem to so thoroughly fail to understand.
Ah, then I thank for your alms and again for your sweet charities,
as you are indeed quite right in your appreciation that there is
a vow of poverty -- the "pragmatic maxim" by name -- that comes
with our order and its mission in this not too promising land,
a tenet that has recursively deprived us of so many "riches"
that others enjoy, up to a point, all of which we so easily
renounce in the exchange for a deeper dimension of meaning.
