I was so eager to get my hands on Lila that I actaullly went and bought it hardcove. So forgive any newbie ignornaance as I leap into the fray. Cheers to all and glad to be here!
[snip] Pirsig is unfair. He actually didn't invent any interesting new philosophy which we can compare with our old philosophy. He offered us no advancement in Philosophy. Instead he introduced a dead end to philosophy - sort of tricky philosophical jiu-jitsu that overthrows all philosophical positions held. For whether or not any philosophy is "good" You can't judge "good" by anything else. So what the heck do you guys usually talk about anyway? Dan comments: Hey JC! Good to have you aboard. Oh, we talk about all kinds of stuff... you'll be amazed at how smart we are. What exactly do you mean that Pirsig didn't invent any new philosophy? Are you saying that the MOQ isn't philosophy? And if it is a dead end, why are we bothering ourselves with it? Anyway, just a few questions to get the discussion rolling. And again, good to have you aboard, Dan 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
