spinoza popped back into my head bcz in a thread on hayek's contrast of "social knowledge" (called "metis") with "instrumentalist" (?or bureaucratic or "high-modernist") knowledge, someone on crooked timber -- a very aggressive radical left pragmatist -- was i. mocking all the foregathered libertarians and "free" marketeers and academic rationalists, ii. suddenly said (pretty much out of nowhere), this all comes down to "spinoza vs descartes" (and he then rather untypically said he didn't know much about either)
anyway i guess i am interested in non-hayekian examinations of "metis"
