This is clearly the correct context [of the Whitehead quote] and it is a
theistic one, and that does not show on wikiquote or is derivable from the way
John likes it to appear. Now given the above one should also read the whole
lecture to observe that Whitehead is pointing towards a sort of religious
quality, with a quality beyond the quality. A holistic quality probably.
dmb says:
Process philosophy goes all the way back to Heraclitus and then some. James and
Dewey got there before Whitehead or Pirsig but I don't think any of them would
dare to claim to be its originator, not even Heraclitus. And the Sophists were
teaching Quality a couple dozen centuries before any of them were born.
And speaking of fraudulent ignoramuses, nobody around here will be surprised if
John has tried to slander Pirsig or if has dishonestly tried to smuggle in a
theistic view. Again. It's like a hobby, I guess. Trolls will be trolls.
