Dan to the 'liberals': Exactly. Even after Robert Pirsig writes two books postulating that rather than subjects and objects being primary to intellect, patterns of value are primary, many, many people will not believe.
Andre: I think you've hit the nail smack bang on the head Dan. Thank you. As Paul Turner wrote long ago: 'The MOQ adds a sense of intellectual quality, an aesthetic appreciation...that makes all the difference' which is anathema to Bodvar's definition of intellect. And this points towards Platt's question to Horse: [Platt] I wonder, for example, where does "mystic understanding" fit in the levels? Andre: Exactly Platt, where does it fit in the SOL interpretation of intellect? It doesn't! because this definition is too restrictive. That is why there is a need for yet another level...a Quality level, a super rationality level. The MOQ accepts 'mystical'/ 'pure experience' insights and accords them high intellectual value...Quality, dharma, Rta, Nothingness, the Void. Pirsig wanted to 'move' to a new spiritual rationality. This is what the MOQ has given us...as the finger pointing to... . But, of course, to the 'liberals' I have put my foot in it again because I used Mr. Pirsig as the authority on his MOQ. I'll never learn.
