| Posted 7/13/2001 1:31 PM (GMT -6) |   | Say, Modes. I was looking back over the "What's Your Story" thread, just for kicks. I think I see some indications of why our dynamic is so interesting. This is just the basic line of my thoughts...
Meph = Like unto Hegel and his intolerable "System", critical realism, more rationalistic, more willing to risk counterintuition for consistency, less prone to confessionalism.
Modes = Like unto Kierkegaard and his revolt against the "System", nominalism, more empirical, less willing to risk counterintuition for consistency, more prone to confessionalism.
We both use Whitehead's criteria (coherent & logical, applicable and adequate), yet for obvious reasons, come down on different sides of the fence.
What do you think? Incidentally, I think that we are cooler than Hegel and Kierkegaard were. 
Meph 
Love God. Love People. Love Truth. Dedicate your all to that which you love.
