[MD] Music as Intellectual?

[ian glendinning]

Hi Marsha, and Robert, (and Bo) et al ...

I may be impressed, the post just passed me by until Marsha pointed it out.

Assuming Marsha's words are a reasonable summary for now, then "using
S/O as a working hyopthesis" is kinda the debate I've had with BO. We
may choose to talk in S/O terms, because it makes it easier to use the
language / construct sentences, when communicating our expriences in
verbal correspondences, etc ...

The point I make (to Bo and others) is that so long as we recognise
that's what we're doing, and don't fall into the trap of "reifying"
these S's and O's in our mind's eye view of the world, then that is
about as good as it gets ? We can nevertheless be more enlightened
intellectually than SOMism.

Now I'd better read Robert's words first hand ... I may be some time.

So why not explore:allowing yourself to use for a while the notion of a distinct 's/o experience' as a working hypothesis; then you could proceed to explore the various components of such experience (components, not parts). Is this possible? It seems a more MOQ way to get at it from an Experience (Quality) point-of-view.
