Marsha: Here's another interesting quote from the MoQ Textbook where: "Nagarjuna and Pirsig also have a similar recognition of two types of truth; the ‘static’ conventional truth (sammuti-sacca) and the ‘Dynamic’ ultimate truth (paramattha-sacca). I am confused. My answer may contain ideas about the intellectual level, SOM and reification, and I have been told we are not hear to learn what I think, but to learn what RMP thinks." (MoQ Textbook, p102) But I am confused. My response may contain ideas about the intellectual level, SOM and reification, and I have been told we are not hear to learn what I think, but to learn what RMP thinks. Ron: You are just pushing the situation when you respond like this There is really no call for it. If this is a setup to rhetorically present and maintain the assertion thatRobert Pirsig really means by using the term the intellectual level he means SOM, then it has been determined that we are no longer having a discussion about Robert Pirsigs Metaphysics of Quality. IF this is a true intellectual inquirey then the idea of many conventional truths may begin a discussion concerning RMP's Quality It's that simple. ___ 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
