Getting Dizzy

Too many of our modern philosophers, in their search after the nature of things, are always getting dizzy from constantly going round and round, and then they imagine that the world is going round and round and moving in all directions; and this appearance, which arises out of their own internal condition, they suppose to be a reality of nature; they think that there is nothing stable or permanent, but only flux and motion, and that the world is always full of every sort of motion and change.

Human beings read their own subjective states out onto the state of the world. Epistemology (psychology?) begets ontology.

Guess who said this?

~ Socrates (Plato) in the Cratylus (411) c. 400 BC

There is nothing new under the sun.
