It is my position that if properly applied the MoQ is a first step in
providing a metaphysical unpinning to modern science. It should aspire
to become what Pirsig said it would be: a metaphysics of randomness.
Dynamic Quality (which I vigorously maintain is not to be identified
with Quality, regardless of whether or not Pirsig agrees to their
conflation) is recognized in the degree of inconsistency within and
among static patterns.
Chris:
I would tend to agree to what you say - and I will submit two questions to
you:
The first is on behalf of a friend of mine - a brilliant scientific mind,
one for whom science is truly Highest. I have discussed the MOQ for a while
with him, and recently I think I have gotten through to him that the Moq is
not anti-intellectual or anti-scientific, but rather completes it. Now, I am
mostly interested and concerned with humanities, and the benefit of the MOQ
within those disciplines is quite clear to me, but he asked me to submit
this question: If the MOQ becomes, well, accepted - how would this affect
science do you think? He was wondering how this would, quite practical
change things in the way science is practised.
Another question, only from me:
How do you identify the intellectual level?
Regards
Chris
