Graig to Andre:
Nice general explication of the MoQ. Of course, "the devil is in the details".
Andre:
Thank you Craig, and agreed, the devil is in the details. I am not philosophically 'grounded' but try to apply Pirsig's insights to my own experience and the art of everyday living. I have also attempted to do this so I can go into discussions with family, friends and colleagues to suggest the perspective from a 'Quality-centered map of the universe' which 'provides overwhelming clarity of explanation where all has bee fog before'. (LILA,p 109)
The difficulty I keep on coming up against in these discussions is the fundamental one which, Pirsig recognized at the start of Chapter 8: 'The idea that the world is composed of nothing but moral value sounds impossible at first'.
I would welcome, in fact, I'd be very happy, if someone brought some of these 'details' into this discussion as criticism and hopefully, constructive criticism to build on together...in an effort to spread this perspective persuasively and convincingly.
