If I dared to reveal my entire fun project to you, I would confess that I always had this odd dream of being able to do for contemporary collectives what had been done, on the Elgin marbles, for the Panathenaic festival: a procession, that is, a theory of ambassadors - of the various modes of existence, each with its own incommensurable and yet fully respected truth conditions, and yet exhibiting corroborating meanings and shared internal-structural qualities in their respective wisdom-forms. You see how high I am! And yet, I cant help it, there is an urge, consubstantial to the [Meta]philosophical tradition, whenever you are told to limit yourself inside a well defined specialty of perspectival-orientation, to straddle the other side of the fence in order to embrace the Whole. Naturally, the Global will self-correct, and fortunately so, but that also requires that other figures and associative-affective-qualities relating to the (experiential) Whole are to be detected and meta-comparatively integrated to the fullest satisfaction all across domains and modalities of verification. I want to have a go at it. A last wish with which to conclude: please, tell anyone, especially in the UK or the US, that such is my overall life project and that I am, in effect, a spiritual-philosopher - best of all a spiritual-philosopher with a system: they will take me seriously again. Only under a Big sky is one allowed to think that well! “Whatever is found in ‘practice’ must lie within the scope of the metaphysical description. When the description fails to include the ‘practice,’ metaphysics is inadequate and requires revision.” Whitehead (PR 13) https://youtube/watch?v=wiyrFSSG5_g
