JC to Andre: I think his point might have been something along the lines of the following essay, composed by Royce in homage to his friend and mentor, William James:...
Andre: So you are arguing that because Royce, being a friend of James, puts Royce on equal footing with the intellectual pattern the MOQ represents? Oh boy…you are still trying to sneak god/the absolute in…through the Royce backdoor . Shame on you JC. JC: In order to win James's most enthusiastic support, ideas and men needed to express an intense inner experience along with a certain unpopularity which showed that they deserved sympathy. Too much worldly success, on the part of men or ideas, easily alienated him.” Andre: And this is exactly the type of flavor the MOQ represents…and you are lamenting the unsuccessful path of the MOQ as you have reproduced time and again through many posts…why do philosophers not adopt Quality? Why do the mainstream academia not follow the MOQ? Is it perhaps due to its social unacceptability or, more like;y its -in-comprehension? You have received many responses to the contrary but you keep on finding exceptions. It is suggested here that to find the exceptions... you have to be representing an exception as well.You say that you have to speak in SOM terms ( whatever that means) to your friends otherwise they do not understand you. Don’t blame the use of your own language JC. Jesus (sound familiar to you?) used the same analogies and it got him hung on the cross. Why? Because he expressed an intens (whatever that means) inner (whatever that means) experience which wasn’t shared. Not even his disciples knew what he was talking about…no exceptions!. It made him unpopular. But now you are suggesting that, because the MOQ is still not popular with mainstream academia or the common man it needs adjustment…it needs watering down…it needs to be palatable to satisfy the needs of the masses? More importantly, it needs adjustment because it does not fulfill YOUR needs or expectations? This tells me enough. You simply do not understand it.
