Re: LS CALL FOR TOPICS OCTOBER 1999
LS COMPARE AND CONTRAST POPPER'S METAPHYSICAL THEORIES WITH THE MOQ WITH A FOCUS ON THE WORKING,EMERGENCE, AND RELATIONSHIP OF THE INTELECTUAL LEVEL WITH OTHER LEVELS. There has been the suggestion that we continue the "intellectual level" discussion for another month. I believe this would be worthwhile with the following priviso. I have recently read a portion book of "Popper Selections" dealing with a selection of Popper's metaphysical theories. In so much as the MoQ is and we ever be an evolving theory, until it dies, I suggest we turn to Popper's work in this area and see if it might offer some insight.

Re: LS CALL FOR TOPICS OCTOBER 1999
Magnus A few suggestions: Pirsig says that the four levels of the MOQ are "all there is". But if each level evolved out of the one beneath it, then is it possible for a fifth level to emerge? If so what are the possible candidates for this level and how would we recognize it? Leaving Quality undefined is a central tenet of the MOQ. We should work towards clearly explaining why this is so and exploring the arguments both for and against this position. Sarah: "Are you teaching Quality this quarter?" "Yes..." - You know what it is. No you don't. Yes you do In order to bring a pragmatic element into the discussion, state how Lila has affected our lives from a personal perspective?

Re: LS CALL FOR TOPICS OCTOBER 1999
Hi LS! Another month is coming... I would like to go on with past topic, but I don't know if it's possible IF NOT, this is my suggestion for October. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, chapter 14. " This divorce of art from technology is completely unnatural. It's just that it's gone on so long you have to be an archeologist to find out where the two separated. Rotisserie assembly is actually a long-lost branch of sculpture, so divorced from its roots by centuries of intellectual wrong turns that just to associate the two sounds ludicrous." Seen in the light of MOQ, why art and technology divorced? What is technology today (especially information technology) ? Art without meaning, or ? --- Maybe we can't find out WHERE art and technology separated, but philosopher must investigate WHY. Ciao a tutti.
