[MD] The Art of Philosophy

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi David and All,

IMHO Metaphysics follows the acceptance of the reality of logic.  Pirsig
adds to logic the statement that DQ is indefinable and logical in a
description of metaphysical reality, evolution.

DQ is enabled in logic and indefinable.  The metaphysics of DQ/SQ has a
structure of being indefinable and knowable.  Logic has a place in
metaphysics and evolution.

In discussing the reality of existence you observe evolution.

For myself the available logic for DQ is the evolution of indefinable
discrete levels in existence knowable by an individual.  DQ/SQ
