dmb said to Ron: ...The pre-intellectual reality is DQ so that it is neither static nor intellectual. DQ refers to experience, the cutting edge of experience, prior to intellectualizations or any static interpretations.
Ron replied: I agree also, but, if this experience is neither static nor intellectual, Then where does it figure in conceptually? What does one call this awareness? ...pre-intellectual experience is described as essential To the concept of Quality but it does not fall into any of the levels That is said to encompass all of reality. It is not indefinable for Pirsig, Dewey and James define it. If it has a static element (which it seems to possess) it is not covered by the levels. dmb says: Like I just said, DQ is the concept that refers to an experience that is pre-intellectual and not static. That's why we call it dynamic and pre-intellectual. Quality is not limited to the static kind. The first distinction in the MOQ is between static and dynamic so that the levels are only something like HALF of the MOQ. DQ is not defined. It is described as being outside of definitions. One of the best ways to get a grip on what DQ references is to say what it is NOT, namely that it is NOT static, NOT intellectual and NOT definable. _________________________________________________________________ Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008 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/
