| You're being reasonable, Max. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But
what I'm thinking of is not a single pole of opposites but a system of coordinates in which there two axes -- faith/blasphemy and reason/unreason, If I am located in the quadrant bounded by faith and reason and look across at someone in the adjoining quadrant, it is crucial (no pun intended) to know -- or at least surmise -- whether the adjoining quadrant is the one bound by faith and unreason (yokels) or the one bounded by reason and blasphemy (courtiers). We concede a great advantage to our opponents when we assume they are yokels when in fact they are courtiers! |
