Sam, David and all:
Sam said to David M:
other than that it reflects the guiding assumptions of the person making
that assertion. I think this is (one of) Pirsig's most significant flaws,
and is one of the reasons why I'm uncomfortable with his more-or-less
Platonic perspective in Lila. I just see it as a Procrustean attempt to
force different religions into a single philosophical shape (an essentialist
one), and that seems illegitamate to me.
dmb says:
Sam, perhaps its only fair that David should know you're a priest. Perhaps
he already knows and I really don't mean to imply that you're hiding the
fact, but this may become an important bit of info as your conversation
proceeds. I traded quite a few posts with you before learning where you were
coming from in that respect. Normally, a person's occupation would hardly
matter, but occupations that require a person's commitment to certain
beliefs is an exception. And so its worth mentioning.
