Stefan begins to realise the question we are being posed is what is the thing, not what is my relationship to the thing. Paris also picks up the central theme that is not how do objects relate to me (what we might call the prince and princess fallacy), but how do they relate to each other. The next big step is to realise that we are just things too…. Carl has an image which nicely illustrates what we’re trying to do (we certainly are not at the top of the food chain…)
