John to Andre:
Emotions are socially generated responses to biological quality, to social
quality and intellectual quality.
I could equally say that "in the MoQ, intellect is a biological response to
quality" because it's contained in my physio-chemical brain.
The biological organism FEELS emotion, but the sociality of the man creates
it.
Well, I realize that for some people, this disagreement is settled with "See
annotation 141".
Andre:
Well John, from Pirsig's MOQ perspective you are very much confusing things. So long as you realise it is your interpretation that is fine but, as said it has little to do with Pirsig's MOQ. And I want to discuss his MOQ and not yours.
I have tried to place annot.141 in the context of the James-Lange theory to understand it. To find out where Mr. Pirsig gets the notion from which leads him to argue that emotions are a biological response to quality. I can either accept or reject this. If I reject it I reject that part of Pirsig's MOQ with all the implications thereof as you do. And, honestly I think you are making a mess of it by your obvious rejection.
