pirsig finishes lila with the idea of good as a noun (rather than an adjective i suppose)...but i think it is (primarily) a verb...what am i missing?

dmb says:
Yea, he's just saying that Quality is not a property or attribute of something more primary. It's not just a feature of objects nor is it merely in the eye of the beholder. And if were talking about Dynamic Quality, I can see how it would make sense to think of it as a verb. If DQ is the primary empirical reality - as opposed to subjects and objects, which are static and secondary - its not quite right to say that Quality is a noun because it's not a person, place or thing. It's the immediate flux of experience, something we suffer, enjoy, endure, go through and those terms sound like verbs to me, an action or state of being.



Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you'll land with humongous scars.
