Hi All,
Regarding Pirsig's four levels - I have found, what seems to me, the
same four level idea in the work of other thinkers and would like to
know if there is anybody here that have any ideas/information on
this. These two people are Karl Jung and Rudolf Steiner.
Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about the vast frameworks that
both these people have worked from, but have just noticed what seems
to be some correlation.
Now Pirsig mentions:
1. physical, material level
2. biological level
3. social level
4. intellectual level
I won't go into the details - you've read the book.
Steiner mentions:
1. physical level
2. etheric level
3. astral level
4. ego level
Jung works with four 'channels' - the correlation breaks a bit down
here (he seems to have neglected the physical level and slipped in the
spiritual one), but knowing more about it, one might be able to tie it
in:
1. biological
2. moral
3. spiritual
4. psychological
I would really like to hear from anybody that knows more about these
two people's work and have any ideas on how to integrate it with
Pirsig's ideas.
I thank you
Rikus
