Hi Squonk, This is just a quick one which I did not want to leave up in the air. I suggested that emotions are a biological response to Quality but not Quality itself. I got the sense that you insisted on maintaining your point of view,reducing all responses to quality, to emotions which is fine. But I had lost the reference in Lila's Child and have now found it.
In Annotation 141: Mr.Pirsig says: 'As I understand the term, 'emotivism' is a way of reducing all value to biology, thus making it a part of the SOM universe. The MoQ sees emotions as a biological response to quality and not the same thing as quality. There are many cases, particularly in economic activity where values occur without any emotion'. Bodvar may argue, and I think his classification is helpful in this sense, that emotions are a social PoV. A biological response to...and a social PoV is not necessarily a contradiction in terms. Just wanted to clean this up...if only for my own peace of mind.
