God, in my understanding of how it relates to the MoQ
is a term used for those experiences which are not fully
understood or understood at all. The MoQ uses the term
Dynamic Quality.
Stanford encylclopedia of philosophy states:
"Contemporary analytic philosophers of mind generally use the term
"belief" to refer to the attitude we have, roughly, whenever we
take something to be the case or regard it as true. To believe
something, in this sense, needn't involve actively reflecting on it:
Of the vast number of things ordinary adults believe, only a few
can be at the fore of the mind at any single time. Nor does the
term "belief", in standard philosophical usage, imply any
uncertainty or any extended reflection about the matter in
question (as it sometimes does in ordinary English usage)."
In this usage, it is not representative of the MoQ if we state
that we "believe" in Dynamic quality. For, how can we say
that what we do not undersatnd, is true? that which is
indefinable? For a Pirsigian to "believe" in DQ is a contradiction
in terms. Unless one is in some way, certain about uncertainty.
Also, The MoQ's Pragmatic endeavor is the active reflective inquirey
of our beliefs and how they are constructed. To state that this too is a belief
is not really understanding what is meant by the term, is inquirey belief?
does it make sense to equate the two? they seem to contradict to me.
