I beg to differ I have always agreed with Pirsig that individuals are combinations of all four levels plus the ability to respond to DQ. I also agree with Pirisg when he writes: "Second, there were moral codes that established the supremacy of the social order over biological life—conventional morals —proscriptions against drugs, murder, adultery, theft and the like." (Lila, 13). So I fail to understand your criticism. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ 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/
