[MD] Intellectual honesty

[david buchanan]

John said to dmb:
Someday dave, you'll have to reconsider yours and Jame's denigration of Bradley's Absolute Idealism in the light of Pirsig's endorsement at the end of the Coppleston annotations, and deal with it.

dmb says:

Pirsig's endorsement at the end? That's a good example of intellectual dishonesty. In this case, I'd characterize the violation as a "selective use of evidence". Anyone who reads the annotations can plainly see that Pirsig finds similarities with Idealism but he also grows increasingly irritated by Bradley's theism and he says the MOQ drops that part of it cold. He thinks its quite wrong for Bradley to be sneaking his theistic goods in through the back door. And of course I have not forgotten that you came here with a religious agenda and that Absolute Idealism is more or less your way to try and sneak your goods in through the back door.

It's dishonest and sleazy. You know perfectly well what Pirsig said about the MOQ being anti-theistic.

Deal with it.
