Hey Ron, Ron said: What you are pointing out Platt is how Objectivism simply can not objectify Subjective experience. Therefore "Truth" as we know it objectively, is based in subjective belief. Which can not be objectively verified. "Truth" Therefore is a term like "Quality" it is neither subjective nor objective It is both. This is why Pirsig attempts to redefine distinctive expression And redefine the terms of truth finding by placing it in pre-intellectual Experience. "Truth" then is experience. Not an intellectual pattern.
Matt: I'm wary of your manner of use of the objective/subjective distinction, but what I'm really interested in is what you are referring to in Pirsig's texts for his attempts to: "redefine distinctive expression" and "redefine the terms of truth-finding by placing it in pre-intellectual experience" These are unconventional ways of describing something that Pirsig does, so much so that I'm not exactly sure what you are thinking of. For instance, the latter is something that, at first consideration without guidance, seems just superficially wrong. I'm not sure Pirsig says anything that I would relate to the "terms of truth-finding" as being related to what he means by "pre-intellectual experience." So what's up?
