Hello Ham, Yes, i've been reading your web site. There is allot there to digest - no indigestion yet - but it takes a little time.
There is something i should like to ask you though, and it requires a little preamble. Please read the following and consider how it may apply to your Essentialism if you have the time: Let us assume the following: 1. Pirsig has identified?the shared experience of 'excellence' in human affairs. 2. Following arguments presented by David Hume in his 'An Essay concerning Human understanding' he has elevated this experience to a Cosmic principle. 3.?Ham has identified?the shared experience of abstract intellectual discourse - specifically, concerning essence. 4. Following David Hume, Ham has elevated this experience to a Cosmic principle. If these positions can be maintained, it may also be argued that 3 and 4 are specific examples of the more general 1 and 2. Note: a. The argument Hume advances is that our understanding of God is extrapolated from concepts regarding finitude. b. Re. 1 and 2. This is Nietzsche's position. Thanks Ham, squonk 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/
