(one of the major breakthrough's was postulating "betterness" as an aspect of dynamic quality)(Adrie.)
Quote Pirsig in "LILA" So what Pheadrus was saying was that not just life, but everything, is an ethical activity. It is nothing else.When inorganic patterns of of reality create life the Metaphysiks of Quality postulates that they'v done so because it's "better"and that this defenition of "betterness"-this beginning response to Dynamic Quality-is an elementary unit of ethics upon wich all right and wrong can be based. When this understanding first broke trough in Pheadrus' mind,that ethics and science had suddenly been integrated into a single system,he became so manic that he couldn't think of anything else for days. (nothing is changed in the text) ps, in the annotations, Pirsigs projects a summary that looks non-limitative about oneness, absolute,etc, but he does not literally mention betterness in this context, nor he is excluding it. Very bright , you cannot exclude it, if you first postulated it , to reside within the dynamic quality-event.The beginning of an event marks the existence,--very bright.(imho) 2010/10/31 X Acto <[email protected]> > Andre, > > I suppose what I am after is a conversation about what it > is to lead a good life. > > because to say that life is meaningless, that betterness is unknowable > and the good relative, > > begs the questions, why get up in the morning? > why eat? > why contribute to the forum? > why choose the MoQ? > > -Ron > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andre Broersen <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sun, October 31, 2010 8:10:20 AM > Subject: Re: [MD] BeTteR-neSs (undefined or otherwise) > > Ron to Andre: > > Which one do you prefer most. > > Andre: > Since you insist Ron: DQ/sq. > > > > 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 > > > > > 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 > -- parser 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
