I'd just like to expand on the FREE WILL & SELF suggestion, seeing as a heading on its own doesn't really explain what this is
supposed to be about, and we've had several new subscribers since we created the 'to do' list.
The question draws from the 'to do' list which we created in Dec 00. (http://alt.venus.co.uk/hypermail/moq_focus/0012/0012.html)
The questions that should be answered under the FREE WILL/SELF topic include (but are not limited to):
7.1 Pirsig doesn't explain how an individual being, a self, fits into the
MOQ.
7.2 If we operate from the belief that there is no such thing as the self,
and that Quality or Reality is one undifferentiated continuum, then the
question of choice, freedom, good and morality does not arise.
7.3 If there is no self and the MOQ is reduced to being only a "feel good"
Metaphysics of Mysticism then evolution in all respects should follow a
linear progression by itself, without any setbacks or reversals since DQ as
an evolving force is complete and fully present at all times.
7.4 Since all conceptions, beliefs and their counters are aspects of
perception can "static patterns of value" have any existence outside
perception?
6.1 Pirsig's explanation of free will is flawed because in order to have
free will you must have a subject, or else who's "will" is it that is free?
