I don't get what all the fuss is about.  Does it matter to the MoQ whether
the Intellectual Level existed before or after Socrates?  Is there some
critical point of order I'm missing?  I don't get the significance of the
argument about what 'arete' is.  Is it really necessary for every person to
make an intensive study of Greek culture before claiming to have knowledge
of the MoQ?  If you say that we used to have the ability to reason without
subjects and objects, then lost it - so what?  We had it, we didn't have it,
only some cultures have it, nobody has it . ok.  I'm fine with any or all of
the above.  The argument doesn't seem to have anything to do with the value
of the MoQ itself.

Nice context in your posting , Mary,nice content also.

If you want to say, for instance ," i'v seen a beautiful rose today", one doesn't need to say
"I'v seen a beautiful rose today, and it was responding to DQ/SQ or moq or sol or som."

It is acceptable just for one to say, "i'v seen......etc.

  Is it really necessary for every person to
make an intensive study of Greek culture before claiming to have knowledge
of the MoQ?

Nope, nada , "null".

My wife is turkish, Mary, been travelling to little asia many times , did about every ancient Greec and Turkish
town, especially towns like "ephesos" ,"selcuk", "Bursa","Troje".........all of it.
Did my own arete-investigation all the way.Became bored with it.
Probably it shows in my postings that i will mostly stay away from the item.
I can outsmart not only all the listers, i can outsmart most historics even, but i wont.

Pirsig never told anyone, go out there , read only my books, and then parrot about them.
so you are correct in this optic
