Hi Joe,
May I ask how the intellectual level evolves?
Chin, er uh, Wolff
Hi Chin, er uh, Wolf and all,
I have no answer! I will repeat a couple of paragraphs and conclude IMO that
self- creation of a reflective self-awareness is the DQ analogue for the
intellectual level of evolution.
[Joe] When metaphor and analogy are combined evolution, or the moral levels
occur. 'Supreme' has meaning only in the social level order in the same way
the order family, city, king has meaning. Yet the intellectual level is the
highest.
What I was trying to point out in that paragraph is that 'order-metaphor'
tied to analogy creates an awareness of analogous DQ in terms of levels
(order).
[JOE} IMO Analogy is used to express the mystical acceptance of the levels.
The term 'like' seems to emphasize the acceptance of different levels. It is
analogy to use as an explanation of the causes of WW I & II, the struggle
between the intellectual and social levels. Morality is analogy in terms of
DQ. However, as analogies, the inorganic, organic, social, and intellectual
levels are moral levels of quality everyone accepts, as they accept the
analogy of evolution into moral levels.
IMO 'Like,' the trademark of an analogy, is not an empty word. What does it
mean? I suggest it is the mystical acceptance of (?) 'description'. Logic
satisfies the description of the inorganic and organic levels. Metaphor from
the social level describes an order in each level. Analogy describes all
levels in quality, relative evolution.
Joe
