Platt:
Do you have a hard time understanding this from Pirsig?
"Remember that the central reality of the MOQ is not an object or a
subject or anything else. It is understood by direct experience only
and not by reasoning of any kind."
Ron:
In refence to the question I asked, yes, I do not understand your meaning.
Again, what does that statement have to do
with teaching the metaphysics of quality in a classroom? what does that
statement have to do with it being stated in a classroom setting by a professor?
