	The Pagan's Path ~ Metaphysics 101 - The Law Of Balance

	Metaphysics : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
		Less obviously, metaphysical issues also intrude on the philosophy of language and logic, as happens when it is suggested that any satisfactory theory of meaning will have to posit the existence of intensional entities, or that any meaningful language will have to mirror the structure of the world (see Intensional entities; Logical atomism).
		The relationship with metaphysics is, however, particularly close in the case of science and the philosophy of science.
		And whereas we find everywhere in metaphysics a debate over whether claims should be given a realist or an antirealist interpretation, in the philosophy of science we find a parallel controversy over the status of the entities featuring in scientific theories (see Realism and antirealism; Scientific realism and antirealism).

	The Politics of Metaphysics: an open letter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-13)
		This paper began as a letter to two professors who teach metaphysics and philosophy of science at the state university near me. It is now addressed to anyone who teaches those disciplines or anything near them at any school, but especially at the public universities.
		Metaphysics is far from purely academic, but there is the risk that the academic world will shield itself from the truly significant metaphysical discussion of our time.
		A teacher of philosophy of science or metaphysics ought to enjoy all the details Johnson provides about the effect of metaphysical views on political concerns, and about the politics of scientific enterprise, especially when it is tied to a metaphysical position.

	Marcelo Dascal: THE BALANCE OF REASON
		If we had a balance of reasons, where the arguments presented in favor and against the case were weighed precisely and the verdict could be pronounced in favor of the most inclined scale...
		Just as a balance may be imperceptibly affected by a magnetic or gravitational field acting differentially on one of its scales, so too socio-historical or psychological pressures (e.g., current prejudices, traditions, political interests, passions, limitations of attention or memory, unconscious desires) may surreptitiously take the place of reasons.
		A defender of the Balance of Reason will usually argue that such a divergence merely indicates that we are often victims of the intervention of causes extraneous to reasoning proper, of the type mentioned in connection with the first problem.

	Aztec Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Aztec philosophers addressed this question against an assumed metaphysics which held that the cosmos and its human inhabitants are constituted by and ultimately identical with a single, vivifying, eternally self-generating and self-regenerating sacred energy.
		One's mind and body possess or lack balance, and are healthy or not depending upon whether they possess the proper balance of opposing polarities such as hot and cold, dry and wet, etc. (Lopez Austin 1988:I,ch.8).
		Walking in balance was simultaneously a moral, epistemological, practical, and aesthetic notion: it involved one's being well-rooted, authentic, knowledgeable, true, pure, morally upright, and beautiful.

	Ephilosopher :: Metaphysics and Epistemology :: On the existence of balance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-13)
		To be balanced, "equal reciprocity" must exist: to be balance, chaos must be equal to the balance.
		Balance is a "harmonious equalibrium" while chaos is defined as "confusion, formless disorder." For balance to exist (for the room to be balanced) both balance and chaos must exist together equally, which is a clear impossibility because balance is a lack of chaos, while chaos is a lack of balance.
		Also the sometimes postulated heat death of the universe with matter equally distributed and of like temperature could be seen as order or balance, by your definition.

	Paper for 'Philosophy As' Conference, Nov 2002
		As part of a transcendental decree, it is a locking device, securing the proton and electron, universally, in their rest mass ratio, thereby imbuing nature with fundamental thresholds between which specific physical phenomena are possible.
		As a metaphysical construct, its internal manifestation is as a container for memories – and I consider there to be a pure memory to which the mind has imperfect access – and its external manifestation is the balance between the fundamental constants of nature.
		This balance is dictated not solely by the rest mass ratio, but also another axis of the life-force, into which is emplaced a value that we could term a cosmic number.
