[MD] What does Pirsig mean by metaphysics?

[david buchanan]

David said to Bo:

...So when you say above, "The MOQ says that the first static fallout is the inorganic level and that's aeons before any "evaluation", you are in effect either misunderstanding or rejecting empiricism of any flavor.


dmb says:
Nice work, David, and I agree. It seems to me that Bo is taking epistemological claims (how we know) with ontological claims (what there is). To complicate matters, for a radical empiricist experience is reality. That's all you get as far as an ontology goes. In radical empiricism the traditional categories like mind and matter are no longer taken as ontological realities but simply concepts drawn from experience, as was explained in the quote you posted from Lila.
