Benedict,

The quote is correct, but I don't like the statements that state the obvious. There has to be some thinking, some innovation in it. For example, my signature 'science is observation and philosophy is interpretation' is very fundamental and easy to follow, but it says something which interests, which proves thinking. I'm not saying that Collingwood and you don't think, I'm just saying that metaphysics is the study of the general nature of reality by it's grammatical meaning, so there is no innovation in that. Just a thought though.
