[Ham] Concerning Marsha's quote from Pirsig's MOQ summary, I do not consider the MOQ a "method of investigation, a tool for a more accurate perception...in value perception." I consider it a euphemistic perspective, albeit one presented with poetic touches. What scientist would seriously consider the Metaphysics of Quality an "investigative tool"? I certainly wouldn't presume to claim this for Essentialism.
[Ron] In as far I know Quantum mechanics uses a process to theorize which is very similar to Pirsigs Pragmatic method. It describes itself as a theory of possibilites. what I like about MOQ is it's practical functionality which I have put to use in my daily life. what aspects of Essentialism have this sort of application? [Ham] And what is "more accurate" about a morality that says, "Some things are better than others?" Let's get "real", Mr. Pirsig! [Ron] you obviously think Essentialism is better than MOQ. Can you explain why you feel this way? thanks Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
