Caledonian, perhaps I should have written “objectivity-negating subjectivity” and “subjectivity-negating objectivity”. The first would deny that reality has any intrinsic qualities (qualities independent of observation, basically), while the latter ends up denying the qualities of experience itself (“not even mind is moving”).
frelkins, taking a stance in opposition to Nagarjuna is difficult because he’s so neither-nor, but maybe just saying that something, somewhere, has an intrinsic nature is enough to do it. :-) You shouldn’t read too much more into my remarks than that. I am agnostic on many points, and I am skeptical that anyone has ever yet known the truth about metaphysics. I have my preferred hypotheses, and I’m prepared to reject certain others, and that’s about it.
