Thanks, they look interesting. I don't know when I'll get around to reading them. Maybe others on the staff might want to have a look: @"StreetlightX"...

Up his sleeve he has indefinitely many fields of sense, I believe.

I'm not sure. Some kind of coherentism, I suppose.

I suggest reading that interview to get an idea of what he's saying. Here's a quote from it: http://www.fourbythreemagazine.com/issue/world/markus-gab...

Just work on your reading comprehension please.

I have no idea how you got that from what I said.

If you really want to know why Markus Gabriel says that the world does not exist, you should read his book, Why the World Does Not Exist, or one of th...
