Friends and neighbours:
Taking Bruce's cue, and Diana's summary, I'll try this time not for
definition of principles, but delineation of principle conceptual areas
needing our further study. It could be beneficial for us to divide our
critiques of the moq into discussions clarifying the main points
somewhat separately.
a) Necessary reevalutation of today's metaphysical and ethical
assumptions, problems, conflicts.
-what is value? "just" what you like?
-relative and absolute "truth" and "value"
-various platypi created by our inherited SOM
-here I see the biggest difficulty presented by Mary's problem -
convincing others of the inadequacy of so many "unconscious" or
unstated views we have. (SOM) Most people are not dynamically
open to being told that their intellectual coordinates are not
the "best" available to them. Why bother with a "meta.. what?"
anyways? I was perfectly happy eating fast food living
vicariously through my television until you came along!
b) Reality = Quality = Morality
-ultimately undefinable yet immediately knowable and undeniable
-and I think words can certainly draw a picture from which the
viewer may infer the underlying essential meaning.
c) Manifested & Experienced as Static and Dynamic
-give approximate definitions - illustrate underlying meaning
-collect clear examples
d) Static Levels - boundaries need to be drawn
- collect clear examples
e) Evolution:
i - dependent coexistence
ii - static moral conflict and dynamic resolution
iii - ethical guidelines for intellectual movement (?)
f) Empiricism and Epistemology
-"pre-intellectual cutting edge of reality"
-quality creates subjective awareness of objects (and subjects)
-Hume, Kant, Hindus, Mystics, etc...
hi -ho, hi-ho, back to work I go...
(this is incomplete)
-rich
