Hi Adam:

Welcome to the group. An answer to your question comes from Pirsig
in a letter to Bo Skutvik (available in the Forum on the MOQ. org site).

Pirsig's answer:

"Hellier's charge of "emotivism" came second. I think it may give a
good picture of where opposition is coming from among the academic
philosophers. All the answers to it were excellent and I think really have
strengthened the understanding of the Lila Squad. My own addition
might be that if the implication of "emotivism" is true - that emotion and
value is identical - then banking may be considered an emotional
activity. I think the MOQ would classify emotions as mere biological
responses to value, not value itself."
