Dear Struan,
You wrote 27/12 2:22 +0000:
"those who follow the moq ... develop their metaphysics almost
entirely in oppositional terms and against an imaginary enemy
(SOM)."
Should I feel addressed?!
May I remind you of your promise of 8/12 8:21 +0000 "I will
expand ... if you desire" and give us (or at least me if you do
it offlist) with a less imaginary metaphysics to compare my MoQ
with?
I refuse to call SOM an enemy. It is just a set of answers to the
questions that need answering to found any system of ideas. It is
Pirsig's summary of past sets of answers intended to clarify his
own set of answers. He wrote a novel, not a philosoph(olog)ical
treatise which could have done justice to more realistic
reproductions of alternative sets of answers.
Your definition of Quality (www.struan.clara.co.uk) disappointed
me as a definition. I can imagine though that she does not
disappoint you. She certainly presents some of the features you
mentioned in your definition of 12/12 11:35 +0000...
With friendly greetings,
Wim
