Fintan,
While I enjoy your energy and share your love of alliterative phrases, I am
not terribly interested in the Metaphysics of Meaning. I am interested,
however, in the Metaphysics of Quality and in this month's topic, Morality.
I'm having a hard time seeing how the Metaphysics of Meaning furthers our
discussion of the Metaphysics of Quality or helps us attain our objective
(quoted from the listserv sign-up) "to look more closely at the MoQ and to
come to some consensus about what the MoQ says, how appropriate it is and
how we can use it." If you would like to proselytize your MoM, please found
a mom_discuss forum.
I don't say this to be mean or condescending, but merely to remind everyone
that, unless the rules have changed while I wasn't looking, we're involved
in a *structured* discussion of the *Metaphysics of Quality*. I realize
that everyone has their own personal philosophy and some amount of
discussion of our personal views with respect to the Metaphysics of Quality
and the monthly topic is unavoidable and even often useful. However, this
is not the forum to create a wholly new philosophy even if it happens to
use some of Pirsig's terminology. That does little to help us understand
the Metaphysics of Quality and in fact derails our conversation.
Please correct me if I'm way off base on this! Otherwise, I encourage the
group to get back on track in our discussion of Morality...
Cheers,
Keith
