Hello Marcha Pirsig says: "There is only one kind of person, Phædrus said, who accepts or rejects the mythos in which he lives. And the definition of that person, when he has rejected the mythos, Phædrus said, is "*insane*." To go outside the mythos is to become *insane*. —
The lecture gives the layering of Mythos/nomos/logos Through the eyes of foucault where mythos is most dynamic and logos least dynamic within the cultural/society boundries. Outside the mythos is madness, more dynamic than within the mythos. Outside the mythos you are able to create your own independend mythos for yourself. In an isolated Buddhist monistary they live for some part according to their own Mythos their own separate culture/society with their own mythos/nomos/logos layering. The Self or ego is bound to a Mythos The Enlightend person knows how to separate the notion of I-ness from the ego. In this way is an enlightend person not bound by a Mythos. The madman doesn't have a clue about this. Kind regards Eddo 2013/6/28 MarshaV <[email protected]> > > Hello Eddo, > > Been thinking about enlightenment versus madness?
