A Quality Existence | Lila - An Inquiry into Morals - by Robert M Pirsig - Commentary on Chapter 26 @aqualityexistence4842 | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This chapter explores how we understand reality and how that understanding is conveyed by our culture primarily through language. It also shows how our reality is based on convention, not ultimate reality. Which is of course why Phaedrus proposes a more inclusive metaphysics.
I’m going to approach this chapter differently by actually naming what I think might have been the tabs on the notecards Pirsig used for this chapter. The tabs are:
Philosophology
William James
MoQ Philosophy of Insanity
Insanity - Culturally Defined
Culturally Reality - Sanity
Static Filter
The Dharmakaya Light
