[MD] What is metaphysics to you?

[David M]

But to confront you one last time with Pirsig: you said, "To watch your 
thoughts without judgement, to see your (human) nature is valuable."

Wasn't the idea behind Pirsig's Quality that it is value, i.e. judgments, 
all the way down to the very core of reality?

Hi Matt

Interesting, a useful point but I'd suggest some qualification. What we 
experience and value is generally highly
conceptualised. There is always a need and possibility to think again,to 
sweep aside our current concepts
and make a fresh start or going back to possibilities previously set aside. 
Such is the point of such calls to purity
or back to basics. Yes, it looks dubious if you make a call to origins and 
purity as if such a state can be
sustained.
