Ham said to dmb:
... So now, Dave, you can either add me to your list of "incorrigible thinkers"
or find some positive value in my criticism that merits your attention. In any
case, as one who respects your dialectical skills and logical mind, I
appreciate this response to my recent post.
dmb says:
You're a very polite gentleman, Ham, but you're already on my list of
incorrigible thinkers. As I've tried to explain many times, your conception of
the self is exactly the conception that Pirsig, James and Dewey reject. It's a
very, very common view in Modern philosophy and in common sense so it's not
like I fail to understand what you're saying about the self. Apparently, you
just don't see why this standard view is a problem and, what's worse is that
you see the solution as the problem. Like I said, this is like criticizing
Protestants for their failure to be sufficiently Catholic. Faced with such
"criticism", the Protestant is just going to scratch his head and say, "Yea, I
know Protestantism is not Catholicism. That the whole point of being
Protestant."
