The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
One has to be careful to distinguish clearly between the metaphysical! ethical presuppositions and implications of a given self-understanding! understanding of existence and the metaphysical/ ethical assumptions and consequences of some particular formulation of it. Just as a self-understanding/ understanding of existence is one thing, its explicit formulation in particular concepts! terms, something else, so the necessary presuppositions and implications of a self-understanding/ understanding of existence ought never to be confused with either the assumptions made in formulating it or the consequences that follow, given the concepts/ terms employed in the formulation.
