Thanks, and I do mean the kind of Vedic metaphysics you're talking about, I know that analytics already have a concept of metaphysics that might not jive with this thread, but I could be wrong

the conditions of knowledge are such that these conditions eventually seek the knowledge of themselves.

the logos as cephalic cosmic rationality is dead. reason has rolled its eyes into the back of its skull and confused the darkness it sees there for its own nature. hegel understood this process keenly: if, when reason interrogates itself, it finds only an unsurpassable horizon, then reason must be this darkness' self-knowledge.

land understood this too: the eye is the true rationalist organ, it is the organ of representation par excellance, even when we fantasize we see with our "mind's eye".

it is by the eye that consensus reality is most readily established. God is the (eye)n: the eye that collapses non-being into the logic of the Real.

For Hegel God is an eye exists only as it is posited by the brute actuality of vision.

The eye cannot see itself, it sees itself as its seeing.

Paul Laffoley is dead. Anyone out there who might direct me to a PDF of his "The Phenomenology of Revelation"? Cursory search turned up nothing useful. Otherwise let those who would see fit eulogize this philosopher-artist here.
