So can we say that he denies a particular definition of the world?henry quirk wrote:Didn't read the book, but did read an interview with philosopher.

Me: I think he's over-thunk it.

As in so much of speculative thought, philosophy or denoted as such, is mostly engineered by a juxtaposition of semantics to devise 'new' positions.
