However, your
interpretation of all these philosophers "you like" and your
characterization of Pirsig as "the real thing" is another example of your
inability to communicate in a precise language. By precise, I mean,
backing up your assertions with some logical arguments or empirical
evidence. I suspect this is what you find distasteful in Matt (his ability
to be precise). Your retreat to "knowing" Quality when you see it and
never getting beyond this in conversation may be enough for yourself in
meditation and contemplation, but it offers nothing in communication with
others.
So, I will continue to hope....
Thanks again,
Andy
Hi Andy,
Wait a moment!
The philosophers i stated i like were indicated to illustrate that i like
philosophy in general, and also that i like a broad and colourful pallet.
Having said that, i don't bang on about Spinoza in a way that i know will
confuse anyone who has not indulged Spinoza?
You say i fancy myself as an artist? Well, that is so. But i do not fancy
myself as an artist at the exclusion of those who are to be considered
non-artists. WE ARE ALL ARTISTS.
I am not a master artist, and masters of any art aim at Quality.
If Matt is a master of precise logical argumentation, i must be patterned in
such a manner as to be blind to it? Matt is a value blind spot i cannot see?
Now Quality. WE ALL KNOW QUALITY WHEN WE SEE IT.
I do not reserve such knowledge for myself. We are all in it together.
Getting that across can very often be achieved by belting you over the head
with a stick.
