Hi Denis, Bo, All:
I don't mean to butt in here but I can't help but get out the ax I've been
grinding since the beginning that a fifth level, if there is one, has got to
have something to do with esthetics. The following from Denis where
he makes a judgment about an intellectual pattern from an undefined
"intellectual esthetic sense" seems to me to be solid evidence of the
existence of such a higher level. I don't think one can very well sustain
an argument that our esthetic sense is entirely a matter of intellectual
or social conditioning or latched to the biological or inorganic levels. To
borrow a Wilberism, our sense of beauty seems to "transcend but
include" the other levels. But, I could be wrong.
