    David (M) this is indeed a shrinking world.

    I've only just made the connection - I've been using "Human Nature Daily
    Review" (aka NIBBS http://human-nature.com/nibbs/ ) as a resource for all
    sorts of interesting material in this space for as year or so (I have a
    permanent link on my own blog), but I never noticed this was the same Robert
    M Young, nor noticed this paper before on his home page.

    What was I saying about convergence ?

      Hi all

      By the way the end of the essay by Young
      suggests we should all read Pirsig, of course,
      we have that ticked off already.

      Regards
      DM

        Hi all

        The humanities are about discussing values and morals,
        the sciences are about avoiding talk about morals and values.
        See link below to a discussion of this byRobert M Young.
        He suggests we need to take a look at the dualisms of:

          humanities - science

          society - science

          culture - nature

           qualitative - quantitative

          value - fact

          purpose - mechanism

          subject - object

          internal - external

          secondary- primary (qualities)

          thought - extension

          mind - body

          character - behaviour

          I think that is what MOQ is all about. Let's talk:
