Hi All
Doug, you'll find the reference to the 'code of art' in Lila about 2 or 3 pages from
the end of
chapter 13.
"As Phaedrus had gotten into them he had seen that the isolation of these static moral
codes
was important. They were really little moral empires all their own, as separate from
one
another as the static levels whose conflicts they resolved:
First, there were moral codes that established the supremacy of biological life over
inanimate nature. Second, there were moral codes that established the supremacy of the
social order over biological life�conventional morals�proscriptions against drugs,
murder,
adultery, theft and the like. Third, there were moral codes that established the
supremacy of
the intellectual order over the social order�democracy, trial by jury, freedom of
speech,
freedom of the press. Finally there�s a fourth Dynamic morality which isn�t a code. He
supposed you could call it a �code of Art� or something like that, but art is usually
thought of
as such a frill that that title undercuts its importance. The morality of the brujo in
Zu�i�that
was Dynamic morality."
