Hello Squonk
SQUONK:
How does anyone feel about rearranging this schematic so that the first box,
Quality produces Romantic quality, which then produces Classic quality in a
string rather than dualism?
Mind/matter concept would then emerge from Romantic quality via Classic
analysis.
Classic quality would then emerge from Romantic quality and the mind/matter
dualism of Descartes would have an inherent Romantic appeal.
ERIN: I like your schematic. I am hesistant to agree that it is not a
duality.
It seems like your schematic is a vertical duality.
I think it's cool it works both ways--what you are doing reminds me of this
quote.
PIRSIG:
My favorite quotation from him was that he liked to take an idea and bound it
on the North and bound it on the East and on the South and on the West, just
to see how far it goes. Lincoln was a surveyor in his early years and I think
he used the word 'bound' in the old surveyor's sense. I see a lanky man with a
compass and transit and surveyor's rods and chain pushing his way through the
underbrush of the wilderness, very concerned about accuracy in determining
where this particular parcel of land stops and the next begins. He knows that
if he doesn't get his measurements right, endless disputes and problems will
follow later on. If you study Lincoln's speeches closely you'll see that,
although he sounds casual enough on the surface, there's a careful surveyor's
precision underlying every sentence he writes.
