David Harding quoted Robert Pirsig July 28th:
"Since a metaphysics is essentially a kind of dialectical definition and since Quality is essentially outside definition, this means that a 'Metaphysics of Quality' is essentially a contradiction in terms, a logical absurdity." (LILA, Chapter 5) Ant replies: Again, with reference to Paul Turner’s Tetralemma paper, it’s quite evident that the MOQ is only “a contradiction in terms, a logical absurdity” when using Aristotlean, syllogistic logic. From the viewpoint of the Tetralemma, there is nothing illogical about the MOQ! [Ron adds] Right, the syllogism is used for wringing the most meaning about what we can say about experience while the tetralemma is useful for pointing to that which can not be said about experience. This however is not a justification for the MoQ to be illogical or justification to what is said about MoQ to be illogical in a philosophy forum. ..
