Pirsig explicitly denies the comparison between Hegel's Absolute and his own notion of DQ. As you must have noticed, the difference between Royce and James had quite a lot to do with Royce's proximity to Hegel, which was too close for James's comfort. John the Royce defender replies with a quote from Royce: As to certain metaphysical opinions which are stated, in outline, in the second volume of this book, I now owe much more to our great and unduly neglected American logician, Mr. Charles Peirce, than I do to the common tradition of recent idealism, and certainly very much more than I ever have owed, at any point of my own philosophical development, to the doctrines which... can be justly attributed to Hegel. It is time, I think, that the long customary, but unjust and loose usage of the adjective "Hegelian" should be dropped. The genuinely Hegelian views were the ones stated by Hegel himself and by his early followers. One of the most thoughtful and one of the fairest of the reviewers of my Spirit of Modern Philosophy said of my former position, as stated, in 1892, that I then came nearer to being a follower of Schopenhauer than a disciple of Hegel. As far as it went, this statement gave a just impression of how I then stood. I have never, since then, been more an Hegelian than at that time I was. I am now less so than ever before. > > Moq_Discuss mailing list > Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. > http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org > Archives: > http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ > http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ > -- ------------ Doing Good IS Being ------------ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
