> Don't misrepresent my post; look again at the subject line.  RMP states in
> Annotation 133 from 'LILA's Child: "... I have read that the MOQ is the
> same as Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Hegel, James, Pierce, Nietzsche,
> Bergson, and many others even though these people are not held to be saying
> the same as each other. This kind of comparison is what I have meant by the
> term, "philosophology." It is done by people who are not seeking to
> understand what is written but only to classify it so that they don't have
> to see it as any thing new.  ..."  These are RMP's words.  Perhaps you
> should read them again.  RMP, in 'A brief summary of the Metaphysics of
> Quality', makes a similar statement:
>
> "I also have a concern of my own. This is the concern that philosophers,
> instead of coming to grips with the philosophy at hand, sometimes dismiss
> it by saying, “Oh he is saying the same as someone else,” or “someone else
> has said it much better.” This is the latter half of the well known
> conservative argument that some new idea is (a) no good because it hasn't
> been heard it before or (b) it is no good because it has been heard before.
> If, as has been noted by R.C. Zaehner, once the Oxford University Professor
> of Eastern Religions and Ethics, I am saying the same thing as Aristotle;
> and if, as has been noted in the Harvard Educational Review, I am saying
> the same thing as William James; and if as has been noted now that I may be
> saying the same thing as Spinoza: then why has no one ever noticed that
> Aristotle and Spinoza and William James are all saying the same thing?"
>
> And previously in the same document:
>
> "The Metaphysics of Quality's central idea that the world is nothing but
> value is not part of any philosophic tradition that I know of. I have
> proposed it because it seems to me that when you look into it carefully it
> makes more sense than all the other things the world is supposed to be
> composed of."
