Hey Marsha, Marsha said: Well I thought telos was at the base of Aristotle's Metaphysics. Later to be adapted and extended into a theological argument by Christianity, but really I don't care.
Matt: Yeah, that's basically right. But I'm with you--I don't really care either. Marsha said: The 'beauty is divine' comment was from a dictionary definition, not my definition of whatever it is you've decided is important. Matt: Oh, really? Oops. I pretty much sped past almost all of the posts, but I did catch that in a glance. I did add the sunsets bit for you, though. Marsha said: Thanks for replying. I know you've written a thoughtful post, but really I want to be finished with this topic. Hopefully, others will respond. Matt: Eh, I'm more with you on this one, too. I don't like conversing about the topic very much because it just goes all--well, we've all seen how many posts have gotten sent in the last 48 hours. I only wrote because the terms of debate seem all wrong for Pirsigians. And since Bo was so sad that so few people use the MoQ, and I'm typically thought of as the worst offender in this regard, I thought I'd make something up, on the spot, just to show off that I can if I feel like it. I thought it came out pretty good, even if it is exactly the same thing Richard Rorty says about religion in his update of James' "Will to Believe." Well, I guess I never said what I said was new, just perhaps newly said. Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
