Hello Willy,
I just wanted to point out the obvious; Philosophy means "the love of
wisdom".
Also I wanted to say that I love you very, very much.
Wet, sloppy kisses,
DMB

Subject: MD Pirsig an artist - MoQ & love
Hi,
I read both Pirsig's books thoroughly and at the end of Lila I realised
that Pirsig never ever mentions love. Now that's OK with me actually,
but I believe that until now every artist has been acting around the
theme 'Love'. Singers sing about it, artists paint it, poets write about
it, etc.
Does Pirsig not ever mention love?
Are you an artist if you never mention love?
I believe Pirsig is an artist. What is the solution?
My question is not really whether or not Pirsig is an artist (maybe he
isn't, the definition of artist is not the point here) but how love fits
in the MoQ and what role it plays there.
Some theses:
- love equals quality *first dynamic, then static*
- love is imagination, is not a value (or is this too subject-object
orientated?)
- love is like a person's free will; you believe in it but it doesn't
exist. You call it love and you find reasons for it but actually it's
just hormones and a simplistic pattern of biological value and I am
really overreacting on this.
Who else has theses?
Greetz,
Willy
