Ian - let's play, I'll try to keep it structured =) ------------- [IG]
We will probably need to unpick knowledge itself - get some working definitions understood - as we go along. You said knowledge / understanding. I might say knowledge / understanding / purpose / meaning / wisdom. No need to argue or agree for now .... just hold that thought as we go along ... you can see that your choice of the word quest is related to the question "what for" ?).
OK - steady now - we all use knowledge (and our intellect, reasoning) for many everyday purposes. We are not all pushing the blue-sky boundaries of human knowledge with our intellect. True or false ?
(None of this denies anything else you said - nothing else needs re-stating, yet.)
So true or false (that one point above) Then we can move on to another.
---------- Look, I have to split this up:
OK - steady now - we all use knowledge (and our intellect, reasoning) for many everyday purposes.
- True. Everything is combined.
We are not all pushing the blue-sky boundaries of human knowledge with our intellect. True or false ?
- False. In a sense. If by intellect you mean the intellectual level, and it being at work with either one of us I'd say that all it is doing is expanding knowledge - whatever level that knowledge may be on, so weather it is contemplating on the nature of our partner or the nature of the universe it doesn't matter. It's goal is always knowledge - EVEN IF the way it's working is directed by the conditions given by the lower levels.
And so I don't drop the knowledge for knowledge's sake alone bit just yet, because I haven't been given a good reason to - just yet.
Where do you want to take it from here? =)
