 SOM did not stop with Aristotle, as the 4th. level (in a MOQ

retrospect) it grew more and more formidable like all levels have before it
and with the late twentieth century it reached a
complexity that spawned the MOQ, which isn't a new level but
the metaphysics that ordered excistence along the
Dynamic/Static line and - most important - adopted the SOM as
its own intellectual level.

 Hi Bo and all,

 Your vision and conclusion are breathtaking.  Thank You!!

 I agree SOM did not stop with Aristotle.  Thomas Aquinas commented on
Aristotle¹s METAPHYSICS, and that view of metaphysics was the standard in
medieval times.  I was taught in 1961 about Aquinas¹ theory of knowledge
(taken from Aristotle) based on ABSTRACTION. INTENTIONAL EXISTENCE according
to Aquinas-Aristotle provided a way to embody ideas in substance instead of
the world of ideas of Plato.

 Pirsig was a breath of fresh air with QUALITY!  His difficulty with the
professor in Chicago set off ringing bells.  To have a place to stand to
view SOL as composed of SOM indicates another level to view in evolution.

 I think of universes, galaxies, the milky-way, sun, planet, moon, and
wonder that organic life on earth with proprietary awareness is evolving
against the grain.  Another way to view SOL!

 
Joe
