Our Argument Is Not Flatly

Nonbeing Must In Some Sense Be, Otherwise What Is It That There Is Not? This Tangled Doctrine Might Be Nicknamed Plato's Beard; Historically It Has Proved Tough, Frequently Dulling The Edge Of Occam's Razor.

My Position Is A Naturalistic One; I See Philosophy Not As An A Priori Propaedeutic Or Groundwork For Science, But As Continuous With Science. I See Philosophy And Science As In The Same Boat--a Boat Which, To Revert To Neurath's Figure As I So Often Do, We Can Rebuild Only At Sea While Staying Afloat In It. There Is No External Vantage Point, No First Philosophy.

One Man's Antinomy Is Another Man's Falsidical Paradox, Give Or Take A Couple Of Thousand Years.

Implication Is Thus The Very Texture Of Our Web Of Belief, And Logic Is The Theory That Traces It.

No Two Of Us Learn Our Language Alike, Nor, In A Sense, Does Any Finish Learning It While He Lives.
