Dear forum,
These quotes may support coherence, (additions by me):
177 "Intuition sometimes is an equivalent of Dynamic Quality. However, its
also a kind of biological instinct. Since Western philosophy confuses these
two, the MOQ avoids the term."
Intuition has been suggested to be intellectual coherence between a
repertoire of sq intellectual patterns. Thus, replacing coherence at the intellectual
level for intuition avoids problems.
180 "The MOQ supports both conservatism and liberalism at the same time.
Freedom and order are contradictory but both are necessary at the same
time."
Coherence is the optimum state between DQ and sq.
193 "Quality is nature. The MOQ says there is no spiritual principle in man
that makes knowledge possible. Nature does the whole job."
Knowledge is an aesthetic appreciation of the 'sweet spot' (coherence)
between sq-sq patterns at the intellectual level. If the DQ-sq metaphysical division
may be used to describe nature then it may be found useful to employ optimum
states as sources of harmony.
198 "Zen argues that it is through stillness, not action, that a man can
realize himself, in the sense of actualizing his potentialities and
developing his personality towards the ideal state of harmonious integraton
of his powers."
The sweet spot or coherence in what is traditionally called, 'activity'
(sport, engineering, art, logic, etc.) is that point where the 'thing' doing the
'activity' is DQ. For example, riding at the sweet spot it is a state in which
distinctions between rider and thing rode disappear; where does the rider begin
and where does he/she end? Where does the bike begin and where does it end?
Stillness - coherence.
210 "The MOQ says there is an ultimate unity but the interrelation of
subject and object does not reveal it."
Coherence, the interrelation of DQ and sq, or better said, sq-sq tension
attempts to convey instances of unity.
219 "The MOQ, like the Buddhists and the Determinists says this 'autonomous
individual' is an illusion."
There is no individual in coherence.
228 "The MOQ does not rest on faith. In the MOQ faith is very low quality
stuff, a willingness to believe falsehoods."
Falsehoods like angels me wonders?
All the best,
Mark
