Alfred;

I find it interesting that in an earlier post you mentioned something to the
effect that ideas remain the same it is merely the vocabulary and verbage
that tend to shift. In reading your post I am struck by how similar your
thinking is to Schopenhauer's "The world as will and idea." Specifically in
book one he writes a dialogue between THE SUBJECT and MATTER. THE SUBJECT
states that his idea makes the world and of course MATTER refutes this by
stating that he is the world regardless of idea.

fascinating,
eric
