PIRSIG: (Lila, ch. 11, p. 166 paperback)
Natural selection is Dynamic Quality at work.
There is no quarrel whatsoever between the Metaphysics of Quality
and the Darwinian Theory of Evolution.
Neither is there a quarrel between the Metaphysics of Quality and the
"teleological" theories which insist that life has some purpose. What
the MOQ has done is unite these opposed doctrines within a larger
metaphysical structure that accomodates both of them without
contradiction.
