Marsha --
Both the designs and the designer are conceptually constructed.
Both are patterns. I don't see a problem with the MOQ.
To see the problem you have to go back to the fundamentals.
Remember the 'ex nihilo' principle? You say the designs and the designer
are "conceptually constructed". "Conceptually" is an adverb that
describes conception as the configuring process of the intellect.
Anything constructed is a "creation", and creation implies a Creator.
I assume you agree that objects are intellectual patterns, If so, they
are constructed FROM value, not BY value. Since construction is not an
agent but a process, who or what is the constructive agent? As an
MoQist, you will probably answer that Intellect is the agent. And that's
precisely where the problem lies. For "intellect" is not a disembodied
agency and "value" is not a universal principle. Both are functions of
the individual observer. In the absence of an observer, there is no
value realized and no intellect to configure it.
[Marsha]:
... I would state that objects are both conceptualized
social and intellecutal patterns...
Hi Ham,
There is something wrong with the above statement. I'll need a little time
to rethink this.
