Thanks for the reply. Your discussion of immanence was particularly   
enlightening. The rest seems a little severe:

e.g., your reply to Phil
>>even the rain is metaphysical?
>not if you forget your umbrella
It seems that you can enjoy the rain or fear it, and that this is not   
just a question of desire...or material breaks and flows, since it   
involves the social that presumes identity that presumes a metaphysics?

I'm not sure what you expect a critique of metaphysics to do. It seems to   
me that the deconstruction of the volitional subject would be an antidote   
of sorts to the hypostatization of "an enchanted-disenchanted condition   
of social reproduction".

And perhaps becoming Other has to disjunct itself eventually in a full   
body, whatever that may be, but there's always also a point before (and   
after) the disjunction... Moments to live for?

Where can I find (or who's the author of): On Truth and Lie in an   
Extra-Moral Sense

in truth (as in lies), the rain smells of ...?
sassafras?
