To whom it may concern:
I have isolated 7 distinct statements of predication in the moq. By
"predicate" I mean an essential feature, or pattern of value, of the moq. As
of now I see these:
1 - Quality is Reality
2 - Quality is Morality
3 - Quality is Undefinable
4 - Quality is Experience
5 - Quality is Dynamic
6 - Quality is Static
7 - Quality is Evolving
Metaphors:
-spokes of the wheel of Quality
-petals of the flower of Quality
-masks of the face of Quality
-shadow cast by Lila's dance
-what I'm getting at is the necessary dominance of aesthetic values in
a developmental metaphysic of Quality.
What I want to know is this:
i: are there any true, good or beautiful statements of the form "Quality
is..." which I have missed? In other words, within this framework, do you
think I will be unable to correctly address any properties of Pirsig's
thought?
ii: do you believe any or all of statements #1-7? (or one's I missed)
to what extent?
do you value any or all of statements #1-7? (ditto)
why?
iii: what, if anything, can I say about "Dynamic Quality" which is valid
within the scope of the moq's reasoning patterns, and which is worthwhile?
I ask only number ii as a question looking for your personal opinion per se.
Numbers i and ii are meant to evoke your personal opinion about
Pirsig/Phaedrus' personal opinion - the necessary basis for any further
development of the moq.
I sincerely appreciate any answers you have time to provide, as I am working
towards a comprehensive statement of the patterns of value within the
metaphysics of quality, and 99% lies in the sheer dynamic potentiality of
individual rational beings - namely, you.
Thank you.
Rich
