Bodvar to Arlo:
Arlo:
My point about substitution was that it creates some nonsensical
statements, consider this from ZMM.
Bodvar:
Sure it creates nonsense, which proves that the Quality/MOQ "meta-
metaphysics is nonsense, Quality is the DQ of MOQ's DQ/SQ
configuration, like the S/O is the SOM. You forgot to answer my
question if there were any world view that said that quality is not
reality?
Andre:
'The statement that Quality is reality itself does not follow logically from
the statements that quality is not subjective or objective. That is why Pirsig
never said this.( Annot. 117)
'...the belief that Quality equals reality came much later and was arrived at
by a more complex process...There was an intermediate period where Phaedrus
thought reality was three-termed, with subject, object and value- a 'blessed
trinity' he called it....Later Phaedrus felt that three-termed realities are
rather unwieldy (low quality) and rare in metaphysics, and tried to collapse
them into one....He tried and he saw that it could be done. As time went on, he
saw that not only could it be done, but that it solved huge philosophic
problems that had dogged metaphysics for centuries. It produced harmony where
there had bee disharmony. It had high intellectual quality'. (Annot.118)
And:
The question Keith asked is:'...is the reality equals Quality identity at odds
in any way with the epistemological consideration that reality is not
completely knowable intellectually?
To which Pirsig answers:'Not as long as Quality is not completely defined'.
