You misread (I can't even say "misinterpreted") my OP and comments subsequent. Perhaps in lieu of putting words in my mouth and inserting your foot in...

What entrapment? And "metaphysical objects" is an oxymoron

No, it doesn't. Or rather "can't", and this precisely because it is imponderable (not conveniently "currently unknowable"). The epistemological issue ...

You obviously have a gift for non sequitur. Your etymological shift says nothing as regards my OP or any point made. More, you falsify my definition o...

Plato's writings are metaphysics, not philosophy. That is the whole point of my OP. Etymologically, "love" at time and context of ancient Greek philos...

Again, more unsupported sentiment in lieu of reasoned counter. There seems to be a widespread belief here that just one's pale utterance alone can som...

Sorry, pouting is not substitute for reasoned rejoinder, either.

Again, more of the same from you. You have no argument; you have an unsupported point of view. Unfortunately, trafficking a Weltanschauung is not subs...
