[MD] Dewey's Zen

[Tuukka Virtaperko]

Dan,
>>   Dewey took great pains to remind us that the primary locus of human experience is not atomistic sense impressions, but rather what he called a "situation," by which he meant, not just our physical setting, but the whole complex of physical, biological, social, and cultural conditions that constitute any given experience—experience taken in its fullest, deepest, richest, broadest sense.
> Dan:
> A minor quibble here... in the MOQ, experience is synonymous with
> Dynamic Quality. Static quality comes later... inorganic, biological,
> social, intellectual.

Tuukka:
Yeah. The author doesn't have the concept of Dynamic Quality, so he 
flounders at that point. "any given experience—experience taken in its 
fullest, deepest, richest, broadest sense." seems to attempt to be a 
crude reference to Dynamic Quality, but it's too vague to be of much use 
to anyone except those, who already have the concept of DQ.
