DMB, you said Hildebrand even quotes Dewey acknowledging this predicament. The "incommunicability of the non-linguistic", as Dewey says,...
And concluded ... Pirsig, Hildebrand and Dewey acknowledge the problem but its not enough to stop them from including the pre-intellectual in their intellectual descriptions. In doing this they are also acknowledging that reality is too big, rich and fluid to be stuffed into little conceptual boxes and that seems right as rain to me. Me too. If I may digress, with a little drivel ... And Ramsay paraphrasing Wittgenstein's "Whereof we cannot speak ..." said "and you can't whistle it, either" Hmm. Words representing conceptions of reality, including where reality may not be represented by concepts .... elements of Russell's paradox in there too. Paradoxical circularity - I love it. Did Russell ever get Wittgenstein's joke - logical concepts ARE the problem ? Actually your phrase "reality is too big, rich and fluid to be stuffed into little conceptual boxes" Is expressing pretty well the idea Quinn and Cameron express (from memory) in "reality [in organisations] is a buzzing, booming confusion of paradox, no matter how much our logical arrogance tries to convince us otherwise". Hildebrand's lingusitic turn I know only through indirect reference & quotation. I must take a look. Many thanks DMB.
