>From Anthony McWatts excellant 'MOQ Textbook': Pirsig (2000c) states that the Buddhist term ‘nothingness’ is a synonym for ‘Quality’. In the MOQ, Quality is defined as equal to Buddhist nothingness. This definition is an original contribution of the MOQ. When it is employed, it appears that the famous ‘East-West Problem’ of philosophy may be solved. The narrative in ZMM makes it clear this definition was not arrived at whimsically, or without intense personal questioning and reasoning that almost had tragic results.
Buddhist nothingness is Buddhist emptiness. ___ 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/md/archives.html
