Hi David,
> Dave > I was referring to this: > -------------- > Lila -Pg 57... Steve: Yes, I knew exactly what you were referring to, but remember that this discussion is about free will. We are trying to explore the interpretation of Pirsig's claim that the extent to which one follows Dynamic Quality one's behavior is free. dmb contends that that freedom is another way of understanding free will. I say that that doesn't make any sense since as you quoted "Dynamic Quality comes as a sort of surprise." It isn't even willed let alone _freely_ willed (whatever that means. It is therefore not the conscious free choice upon which to hang the notion of moral responsibility for human behavior. I agree that "It was free, without static forms," but "without static forms" is incompatible with any standard usage of "free will" which is generally taken to be freedom as the basis for self-conscious deliberation.
