  • Next message: David Buchanan: "MF March 2004 - Metaphysics and the mystical reality."

    Hi all,

    We have a new topic for discussion this month, March. It is Topic 1 proposed by David M Buchanan:
    "Does Pirsig's work help us to sort out the distinctions between metaphysics and the mystical
    reality?"

    Voting broke down as follows:

    Horse: 1
    David Buchanan: 1
    Marty Jorgensen: 2
    Lloyd Klinedinst: 1
    Sam Norton: 1
    Wim Nusselder: 2
    Rick Valence: 2

    Note that I haven't included Glenn as voting for his own proposal, as he didn't send in a separate
    vote. I'm not sure if that's absolutely correct, but as DMB voted separately (ie in addition to his
    proposal), it seemed better not to count the proposal itself as a vote. It Glenn had voted in favour
    of his own topic then we would have had a tie, so at least this way we have a definite answer to be
    going on with.

    Opinions on the February topic are still invited.

    Sam
