[MD] Objectivism and the MOQ

[LARAMIE LOEWEN]

[H]:
The MoQ does not even define "man" as a creature with proprietary
consciousness.  It is concerned with mankind in the collectivist sense -- as
a social species, as a product of biological and intellectual evolution.
The very faculties that make man unique among living organisms -- 
self-awareness, intellection, value sensibility, moral judgment, and
creativity -- are relegated to an obscure, unsubstantiated esthetic realm
that is self-sufficient in its own right and denies the individual of any
contribution or role in the universe.  If evolution proceeds automatically
to "betterness", what purpose does man serve?  He is a complex but captive
biological organism swept up in this cosmic movement without free choice or
any hope of transcending differentiated existence.

[L]:
Self-awareness, intellection, value sensibility, moral judgment, and creativity 
are the faculties the MoQ requires us to exercise in order to understand it,
and which were used by its author in order to write it.  

IMNSHO, the role of the individual is to enable the universe to become aware of itself, 
and to become an expression of it.
