Postmetaphysics, simply put

Bruce Alderman responds to Julian Walker's "Simply put" posts, while staying in the format of pithy, concise formulations. Here's a snip:

When we interpret any given worldspace (or artifact of that worldspace) as "reality as it is," we fall prey to the myth of the given.

The myth of the given is the failure to recognize and acknowledge the Kosmic addresses of perceiver and perceived, which are constitutive factors in the enactment of any particular worldspace (and the objects "therein").

The claim that there are "simple facts" which exist independently of worldviews and contextualizing perspectives, while an understandable attempt to provide firm grounding, is ironically a claim which is not adequately grounded because it fails to disclose (and does not consider relevant) the Kosmic address from which the claim is being made.

Simply put, the assertion that there are universally valid, perspective-free, interpretation-free foundational elements of reality is pure metaphysics.

I love this! Good work, Bruce. See the whole thing.
