David, Matt, Everyone,
I'd like to simply state that I consider Matt's contribution to this
site invaluable. In fact, if it wasn't for Matt's project, I would have
lost interest in this site almost immediately after subscribing.
Matt has sparked conversation that has illuminated the MOQ for me
immeasurably.
I find his Rorty project fascinating and quite approachable despite
never having read Rorty (or half of the other philosopher's mentioned on
a regular basis). Perhaps it's a matter of "wavelength", but I find
Matt's posts to be quite simple and insightful and I'm not at all
confused by his so-called idiosyncratic use of language.
Perhaps this is because I'm NOT a philosopher that I'm not as
conditioned to a particular use of vocabulary so as to find Matt's usage
troubling.
Well, this isn't intended to blow sunshine up Matt's ass. It's not
intended as proof of the validity of his project. It _IS_ intended to
dispel the notion that Matt's project is pointless, uninteresting,
inscrutable, ignored or unappreciated by everyone here.
Philosophy isn't something you read, it's something you do. I consider
Matt to be a doer, and not merely a reader.
