[Moq_Discuss] Essentialism: MATTER AND FORM

[Ron Kulp]

[Ham]
Concerning Marsha's quote from Pirsig's MOQ summary, I do not consider
the MOQ a "method of investigation, a tool for a more accurate
perception...in value perception."  I consider it a euphemistic
perspective, albeit one presented with poetic touches.  What scientist
would seriously consider the Metaphysics of Quality an "investigative
tool"?  I certainly wouldn't presume to claim this for Essentialism.  

[Ron]

In as far I know Quantum mechanics uses a process to theorize which is
very similar to Pirsigs
Pragmatic method. It describes itself as a theory of possibilites. what
I like about MOQ is
it's practical functionality which I have put to use in my daily life.
what aspects of
Essentialism have this sort of application?

[Ham]
 And what is "more accurate" about 
a morality that says, "Some things are better than others?"  Let's get
"real", Mr. Pirsig!

[Ron]
you obviously think Essentialism is better than MOQ. Can you explain why
you feel this way?



thanks
