[MD] Free Will

Steve said:
Pirsig's view does not postulate an autonomous agent as a fundamental premise that wills this and that, and so free will of the classical sort is denied by the MOQ.


dmb says:
That's true. But the MOQ also divides DQ from sq, which is the distinction between the quality of freedom and the quality of order. It's very different from the free will-determinism debate but freedom and order still play an important role. I think they're supposed to be partners, not opposed options.
