Platt: > Would the German word "weltanschauung" be close to your concept? > Webster defines it as "a comprehensive conception or apprehension of > the world especially from a specific standpoint." BO: Sure it's a "weltanschauung", but the problem is the notion that it is to be found somewhere inside itself. In spite of the container metaphor the MOQ as an intellectual pattern has become dogma. It stems from Pirsig's deviation from his original definition of metaphysics as the most basic ordering of reality to the sudden retreat to a mere theory about reality.
Ron: Bo, the most basic ordering of reality IS an intellectual pattern. Anything you can possibly say is an intellectual pattern. everything, I mean everything Outside of experience IS a theory. The EXPERIENCE of the individual, is the only reality.
