Considering the question: "Does Lila have Quality?" >From an ontological point of view people and things have properties. They have a nature that exists outside the mind, so Lila has Quality or she doesn't. From an epistemic point of view people and things have a nature that exists inside the mind. As people of the 21st century Western culture, we think, ane so again, Lila has Quality or she doesn't. The MOQ tells us Quality has Lila. "Nothing dominates Quality." The MOQ offers a more expanded point of view, one that looks at ontological and epistemic points of view and states that they are both right... in a limited context. Ontologically, inorganic and biological patterns of value have a nature that exists physically. Epistemically, social and intellectual patterns of value have a nature that exists mentally. Or so I think...
