Andre, The metaphysics term should be dropped in my opinion for something alittle more accurate say, the philosophy of Quality or the philosophy of inquirey, value theory. The term metaphysics carries all sorts of assumptive baggage we are trying to diminish, in fact we spend so much time dealing with this that it tends to overshadow any progress being made. -Ron

Ron to Andre, I do not argue that point with Platt and Bo, what I do argue is that Bo posits that s/o is THE human intellectual level, absolutely. Per western culture, it certainly dominates, but as a species? it leaves out all sorts of intellectual cultures and patterns. It makes the mistake of posing a culturally chauvanistic world view in evolutionary terms, dangerous in my opinion. The intellectual level is defined by the culture it emerges from it is as all MoQ concepts, contextual. Andre: Point taken Ron and, for me (or Bodvar?) to ponder over a bit. Off the top of my head though the MoQ is a product of American/European culture. Also, Pirsig finds Bodvar's SOL not necessarily true. And, Ron, referring to your 2nd posting...I have espoused earlier my misgivings as to calling Pirsig's 'program/system' a metaphysics for the same reason you do:There is no "meta" in experience. If anything MoQ throws the "M" out alltogether.
