Ant McWatt comments: Doesn't Pirsig qualify the quote that Marsha has used below by saying that DQ is "unknowable" in the sense of there being a KNOWER and a KNOWN? i.e. he's warning the reader not to end-up in some kind of SOM metaphysical trap by them trying to define DQ.
Anyway, I found Joe's clarification between the definitions of "indefinable" and "unknowable" helpful here, Best wishes, Ant Joe Maurer said to Marsha, April 3rd 2013: > Hi MarshaV and All, > > I have no sense of what you mean by "unknowable" DQ? Unknowable is not the > same as indefinable in DQ (indefinable) SQ (definable) metaphysics. > "Unknowable" means a barrier to the contact of the faculty for knowledge. > Indefinable accepts a direct contact in consciousness without language. > "What was that?"
