(Cleveland harbor effect ?) But Steve's point (directed at Matt) - I too still get this feeling that the distinction does not have much ongoing value to the MoQ itself - except as part of understanding the history of why Pirsig (felt he) needed to make that emphasis. (Since that emphasis on experience over analysis - even in the intellectual level - is kinda fundamental to the MoQ anyway, quite apart from talk of philosophers and philosophologists.) I get this "let's move on" feeling - but remain respectful of minds like Matt and DMB that still do see the need for debate here ? BTW all distinctions are fuzzy in reality - they are only distinct from the perspective of some purpose ;-) Regards Ian On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 3:48 PM, X Acto<[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Ian, > > I think that you have a good point although I believe it is more useful > to make the distinction between an active inquirey that involves a > a body of thought that includes a history which views itself as > the evolutionary culmenation of active inquirey with an active inquirey > that does not. > This leaves objectivism free to use without rejecting it out of hand > as altogether wrong or bad but merely limited and one of many > ways inwhich a body of understanding may be created. > > MoQ places active inquirey at the fore front where objectivism > tends to give it a back seat and tells it to shut up when > expereince does not match it's methods and interpretations. > > cleveland harbor effect > > -Ron > 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/ 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/
