[MD] The relativity of the MoQ

[X Acto]

Andre,

I do believe that the MoQ does provide a contextual framework for the human expereince
Which promotes an understanding of relationships that do not draw apon cultural terms
of agreement  but a much larger context of four static patterns of Quality which may be
applied to and in, any cultural context. 

I'm still unsure as to the ability to accurately judge cultures by it's standard though.

A good MoQ arguement to follow, and I invite Platt in on it, is this:

IS a culture that values intellectual quality  vs. one that does not, truly superior
even if that cultures intellectual level destroys and undercuts it's social level?

IS a intellectually destructive society
superior to
a socially oppressive society?

Subject: [MD] The relativity of the MoQ

Hi All,
I have started this new thread because I am intrigued by it. To what extent
can the MoQ be said to be a 'universal' metaphysics?
Firstly, I really dislike to use the word 'universal' but it seems to be
used commonsensically as relating to, and denoting 'everything'....

We may assume that Pirsig, after having read Northrop (the Meeting of East
and West),devoted to him as a student and still to be heavily influenced by
him, may have attempted such a venture through the MoQ. Which reduces it
to relating to us, earth bound, stardust inspired, humans.

Can the MoQ be said to be therefore a-cultural and timeless? or does it make
no such claim. ( I realise that Pirsig himself has placed the MoQ  within
the American, pragmatist tradition and stresses that it is a continuation
thereof).

Ron, I gather you have some definite things to say about this.

Interested.
Andre
