The ruling analogy, which is quite false,
must be removed. It is that of the eagle's
eye. The metaphysician imagines that he
surveys the world as with an eagle's eye.
And the farther he flies, the " purer " his
knowledge becomes.
Hence we can see the world as pure
geometry, and can make out its dividing lines.
But the eye is in the mud, the eye is mud.
