Ron? You are saying that DQ is "an elementary unit of ethics upon which all right and wrong can be based"?
I got from the quote that betterness is not DQ but an initial response to DQ. Isn't that different? 'So what Phaedrus was saying was that not just life, but everything, is an ethical activity. It is nothing else. When inorganic patterns of reality create life the Metaphysics of Quality postulates that they've done so because it is 'better' and that this definition of 'betterness'- this beginning response to Dynamic Quality- is an elementary unit of ethics upon which all right and wrong can be based.(LILA, p 161) On Apr 23, 2011, at 10:07 AM, X Acto <[email protected]> wrote: > Mary: > What do you use it for? > > Ron: > an elementary unit of ethics upon which all right and wrong can be > based.(LILA, > p 161) > > > > On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 8:19 AM, X Acto <[email protected]> wrote: > >> To say that DQ is strictly nonconceptual is to say that DQ is strictly >> meaningless >> and does not explain anything.
