By Schubert Ogden
The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
Could I, perhaps, express my point about metaphysics's being concerned with (logical) structure, as distinct from meaning, by employing Scotus's concept of the ratio formalis?
Employing his concept, I could say that metaphysics seeks the ratio formalis of the experienced and of experience as such—in the sense of the strictly necessary conditions of their (or its) possibility. In this sense, metaphysics seeks, or is concerned with, structure, as distinct from meaning.
