Martin,
So I'm wondering: does the "over the horizon"-ness of the object and the
appearance/reality quality of the situation lead us back to
phenomena/noumena?
I know you are committed non-dualist but I don't understand how to fit
these moves together.
Seems like "over the horizon" takes us back to Kant's idea of the
un-knowability of the object.
I'd love to hear more.
