[MD] [Moq_Discuss] Essentialism: MATTER AND FORM

[Ron Kulp]

[Platt]
But wouldn't you admit, Ron, that if energy is defined as "the power to
change"
that DQ would qualify as energy? As for evidence of this energy, Pirsig
cites, among other examples, that of the brujo. "It was the moral force
that had motivated the brujo in Zuni." (Lila, 9)

[Ron]
The brujo story IMO  represented how a society accomodated an individual
who challenged it's order
and found a place within it's structure for them in lieu of punishment,
release, alienation and
recurrance of his unsocial practices, they gave the brujo a function,
responsibility and acceptance.
but that's just how I interpreted it. 
Moral force is a tough question Platt. I just do not know,
nor do I have the philosophical weight behind me to accurately answer
such a question.
Thanks
