In other words, how can humanity accurately discern objective metaphysical truth from preconceived notions of metaphysical truth?
Metaphysical truths include things like the Principle of Non-Contradiction. If the PNC is not true then that would mean that reason itself is not effective. That is a self-defeating position.
"Metaphysical=Hindu speed of light" Oh suddenly now that doesn't make sense?
"Metaphysical=Buddhist theory of gravity" Oh that doesn't make sense either?
"Metaphysical=Yahweh theory of relativity" Surely that has some teeth to it?
"Metaphysical=Yoda theory of force", You like Yoda don't you, come on, everyone loves Yoda.
