Do not be be so obviously condescending saying that, sometimes, on emotional ground, you feel also that there is a real world behind our worlds. This is not a matter of emotions. In fact, the human constructed worlds are probably a lot more constructed on the ground of emotion. The entire world of magic in traditional tribal societies is based on it. I think that the kind of relativism that your man has developed has gone beyond what was scientifically and philosophically neccesary to counter a naive vision of the kind of Newton or Descartes. This, the all thing going from one extreme to another, is also a part of scientific dynamics. Each time one extreme of thought is reached, the supporters of it thinks they finnaly discovered the truth and unmasked the error hidden in the other extreme. The errors they did discover, the Truth maybe not. Of course still can be said that from the point of view of a dolphin, the world is not even subjected to the same phisical laws as we think it is. We could say that even the matter as we perceive is is a construct. Maybe. But as much as we are human being gifted with these kind of perceptive organs and non others, this world as seen trought them and the measures with modeling devices as maths and logic that we use over that perceppts are the real world that matters. Maybe it is different in a supposed fith ddimension? Maybe, but it is not our concern. Respect Gambit, I will see how much new or paradigmatic is when I have it in my hands. Call it relativistic objetivity.... For now I believe the only one capable of saying something sensible about that is Theron. Regards Fernando
