The bewildering goegraphy of discursive concentrations can be resolved somewhat by noting that each expresses an adherence to a latent metaphysics, and it's work or service is always a matter of extending the reach of that metaphysics to a wider range of phenomena, even if this is no more than question-begging, since what counts as a phenomenon is always already determined by that metaphysics - or by the demand for the overcoming of the reverse determination. What is known as 'theory', for example, although overtly materialist, is a straining towards a qualified dualism. Its characteristic gesture is to open towards dualism at the same time as immediately cancelling that opening in a cunning or graceful return to the maternal reassurance of matter. This play is identical to the peculiar force of the demand. There are doubtless far fewer kinds of qualified dualism than there seem to be, and if the forbidden next step into wholesale dualism were to be taken there is the fear that the rich variety of phenomenal possibilities would be lost. Perhaps you have to take a further step in order to restore it.
