Hello everyone, hope you are all well
Recently I have been re-exploring what brought Phaedrus to form the moq and as far as I can tell, it was a problem with the processes behind reasoning. In a nut shell, i understand this to be that reasoning should lead to a single definable point of discovery such as a law from which all things can be derived. however, from his work in his old laboratory, he began to realise that the more one employed rational reasoning the further one got from a single all encompassing law, and in places where the reasoning overlapped without logical progression, specialised unlogical theory had to be employed e.g. chaos theory, quantum theory and singularity phenomenon. So he thought about the problem and produced a reasoning based on quality being the starting point of reasoning.
then, in Lila, he went on to expand on this producing a full all encompassing metaphysics of quality. in this he said that there were four definable areas of quality (inorganic, organic, social and intellectual - lila chpt 12) and one indefinable one being named dynamic quality. from here you can then apply the basics of his theory and apply it outwards as you all do on this discussion group. the reasoning behind all this, i suppose,is that Phaedrus has reversed the process of the old rationality. instead of working towards a single answer, he defines the single law and works out thus encompassing everything outside. The trouble i have with all this, is that he has inbuilt his own chaos theory within the small print of moq. dynamic quality is comparable to singularity phenomenon and thus falls outside the realms of discussion. Phaedrus has built a philosophy system with which he aims to correct the problems of old rationality, but inbuilt in his new theory is one f the problems in old fashioned ration
ality. In reasoning of old, this was called either chaos theory or quantum theory or singularity phenomenon in moq its called dynamic quality.
The second problem i have with dynamic quality and its relation to the newly invented reasoning within moq. by continuing to discuss the moq and its relation to everything you have two possible outcomes: 1 is that you will never have everything explained thus the problem of the old eternal reasoning while getting nowhere is again present. or 2 that you will apply a reasoning to EVERYTHING except dynamic quality thus, by default, defining quality as everything outside the "everything" that you have earlier reasoned. once again this is a problem with the old rationality (i.e. singularity phenomenon, vacuums, and what lies outside the universe) so once again we have the old problem.
What i am trying to suggest with all this, is that if quality is indeed the answer to the old problems with rationality, then on expansion out from this, dynamic quality should be definable with examples, otherwise its the same old problem with a new name.
Then again, maybe i have misunderstood so ask or my errors to be highlighted.
Apologies for the low quality of grammar.
With kind regards
Richard
