Hi David --
[Ham, previously]: > Thank you, Dave, for this incisive and illuminating response to Bo [Dave]: > You're welcome. You deserve to be commended for pointing out one of the most glaring shortcomings of the MoQ: its failure to acknowledge the individual as the locus of existence. Pardon me for asking, but are you new to the MD? The first message I could find of yours was posted on the 14th of this month. > Now if I could get you to see that Essentialism and Existentialism, > while good and useful in their time, have run their course. > If I could log a Sunday conversion to Quality it might even warm > the unrepentant cockles of my unchristian heart. OK, David. Consider me fair game for your "conversion to Quality". You should know up front, however, that my philosophy is not the Essentialism espoused by Plato or described in Wikipedia. I suggest that you review my Q&A page at www.essentialism.net/FAQs.htm for a quick introduction, or read the full thesis at www.essentialism.net/mechanic.htm if you have the time. You'll find that, rather than avoiding metaphysics as Pirsig has done, I've drawn on the theories of Plotinus, Cusanus, Hegel and Heidegger to develop this valuistic ontology. Now warm your cockles. Regards, Ham Hi Ham, I read your FAQS, well done! This is the kind of thing I am asking from the Quality group. A central depository of simple, easy to understand MoQ. I know for some MoQ may be second nature, but it needs an entry.
