Mel/ Arlo In that the Intellectual Level is more dynamic than the Social, which is more dynamic than the Biological in turn more so than the Physical; this makes the place of man prone to a greater dynamism in general by whole levels more. So, I suspect that was the way Pirsig was looking at things when he focused on man as uniquely responsive. (Capable of the most dynamic functions in the most dynamic layers.) thanks--mel
Andre: I totally agree with this Mel, and Arlo, (you are trying to convince as well if I understand you correctly). You see, we human beings ( ie those still impregnated with S/O divisions) want to intellectualise all the time. Thing is that the intellectualisation process is only attempted (!) and only made possible as a conglomeration/ result of social PoV's. Anything before the social level cannot be apprehended 'intellectually'. Of course we try to: by inventing Laws which attempt to make the 'workings'/ 'existence' of organic and inorganic PoV's understandable and comprehensible BUT ONLY IN HUMAN (INTELLECT'S/ LANGUAGE) TERMS. DQ is the key, and this is PRE-INTELLECTUAL APPREHENSION (not comprehension...this happens afterwards) And man is indeed, not only capable of the most dynamic functions in the most dynamic layers (as you say Mel) . Man is also capable of the most dynamic/ free interpretations of the dynamic layers. And , of course, this is where a lot goes wrong. For what it is worth. Andre Ps: most stimulating posts!!
