Pirsig
"It says, first of all, that "amoral objective matter" is a low-grade
form of morality. and "there is not just one moral system. There are
many. ...there’s the morality called the "laws of nature," by which
inorganic patterns triumph over chaos; there is a morality called the
"laws of the jungle" where biology triumphs over the inorganic forces of
starvation and death; there’s a morality where social patterns triumph
over biology, "the law"; and there is intellectual morality, which is
still struggling in its attempts to control society." Lila-pp 158
While attention is focused on the intellectual level I would like to ask this:
If in a commonsense way the moral systems of the MoQ are:
inorganic ='s "laws of nature"
organic ='s "laws of the jungle"
social ='s "the law"
intellectual = [Blank]
Why did Pirsig not tie some name like these to this level? Or did he
somewhere and I miss it? But if he didn't what are some of the
possibilities? The best candidate?
