Hello Dan and others,
Thanks for your answers. Also being new to this list, my questions may seem
ignorant. I have no education in philosophy, being a computer engineer with
interest in literature and now it looks like philosophy as well. I have
printed Bodvarıs essay The Quality Event and will read that (in Norwegian)
as well as Anthony McWattıs Text book.
In the answer you gave me Dan (and the previous night thinking about the
subject) I recognize an analogy with a mathematical algorithm, where the
outcome (shape of curve or object) of the algorithm (the components being
social and intellectual patterns) is dependant on the values assigned to
each of the components of the algorithm. I am not sure where this leads to,
it just stroke me.
Regards,
Bart Scholten
At the risk of ruining your reading: Lila's Child, annotation #28, RMP
writes: "For precision, I would say a culture contains social and
intellectual values, but not biological or inorganic." Annotation #47 reads:
"I think a culture should be defined as social patterns plus intellectual
patterns." So it's not that there's a level above social and intellectual
levels but rather, according to the MOQ, those levels together can be viewed
as culture.
