[MD] The Dynamics of Value

[MarshaV]

Andre,

I am not pushing anything.  I am entitled to my own view.  You, 
Adrie and dmb seem to think that whatever way dmb blows, 
there blows the MoQ.  No, no, no!  As I stated yesterday, 
James was not a MoQ scholar, Seigfried is not a MoQ 
scholar and I will be quite surprised if dmb ever becomes 
a MoQ scholar.  

There is always differences within a tradition.  I am quite 
tired of dmb &company acting like whatever dmb says is truth.

I'm ready to change the subject.  


Marsha 


p.s.  I read Dean Summers paper over a year ago.  It's a very 
good paper.

It is a form of pragmatism, of instrumentalism, which says that the test of the true is the good. It adds that this good is not a social code or some intellectualized Hegelian Absolute. It is direct everyday experience.(LILA, p 373)
> 
> I add that your 'Zen Buddhism is a form of American Pragmatism' is not correct and this has never been claimed to be the case or stated anywhere. You should perhaps change it into; The MOQ is a Western (call it American if you like) version of Zen Buddhism. As Anthony suggests in his PhD: [the MOQ] is one of the first indigenous forms of Zen Buddhism to appear in the United States. (p 3).
