The type of knowledge I refer to is not SOL intellectual scientific rational knowledge but rather mystic knowledge. Pirsig expressed it thusly: "For the MOQ this is, "Some things are better than others." Every infant knows this before he learns his first word " In other words, knowledge by illumination as Augustine put it, or by intuition as Susanne Langer described it. Knowledge which is beyond reason as well as sense data, knowledge of the truths of mathematical axioms for instance, or of the existence of ideals like beauty and goodness, or the validity of the very distinction between truth and falsehood. Or, the knowledge every musician like yourself understands when the right note is struck at the right time. Enough for today. I apologize for exceeding your rule of no more than two posts on SOL in a day. . >> 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
