Arlo said: ...I should note that this short article (Alfredi Ruiz, Theoretical Bases of the Post-Rationalist Approach) also calls for an ontological and an epistomological approach to experience, in much the same way that Paul Turner approached describing two approaches to Pirsig's MOQ. Consider too that Ruiz writes, "The first dimension is immediate experience. Like what occurs in other animals, the experience of living, of feeling alive, is something with simply occurs to us, something we can not decide. The other dimension is explanation." Sounds very Dynamic/static, doesn't it?
dmb says: A little tanget: remember Paul Turner's work on the "tetralemma" (don't know how that's spelled), that strange Buddhist logic? I found a little piece that explains the background and context in which in makes tons of sense. Had a hunch that there was something behind it that I did not know about and - damn - that old hunch finally found a place to land when I saw this article... "Let’s start by turning back the clock. It is India in the fifth century BCE, the age of the historical Buddha, and a rather peculiar principle of reasoning appears to be in general use. This principle is called the catuskoti, meaning ‘four corners’. It insists that there are four possibilities regarding any statement: it might be true (and true only), false (and false only), both true and false, or neither true nor false." http://aeon.co/magazine/world-views/logic-of-buddhist-philosophy/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
