Master of Balhol THIS LITTLE BOOK IS APFKCTIONATKLY DBDICAIEDAS A MARK OF REVERENCE AND GRATITUDE PREFACE THE publication of so small a book, dealing with so vast a subject, certainly calls for some explanation. It is the outcome of a larger plan the ridiculus mus as some may think, that has issued from a too ambitious under taking. I had promised a good many years ago to write a book for Sonnenscheins Library of Philosophy, giving a comprehensive and connected survey of philosophical first principles, as these appear in the light of the most recent developments of thought. This promise may at some time be fulfilled but the duties of a teacher of Philosophy in a provincial College are not favourable to large constructive efforts and several circumstances have made this particular attempt appear less urgent than it once did. The publication of Mr. Bradleys great work on Appearance and Reality might well give pause to any one who had a similar design in view. If his brilliant dialectic and subtle speculative insight had failed to produce a convincing scheme of philosophic truth, the prospect was not very encouraging for the smaller fry. On the other hand, so far as he had succeeded, further attempts in the same direction became unnecessary viii OUTLINES OF METAPHYSICS It was partly for this reason, as well as for the other that I have indicated, that I decided, for a time at least, to abandon the larger scheme, and attempt something smaller and more feasible. It seemed to me that a short introductory book might at least be of some use in helping students to a more easy understanding of the larger ones a book that should aim chiefly at indicating the place and nature of the various meta physical problems, rather than at thrashing them out in detail. The difficulty of metaphysical study lies largely, I think, in the bewildering way in which one problem rises out of another, like hills appearing over one anothers crests. The mere attempt to put them in some sort of order may have a certain value. Of course a book that attempts to do little more than this cannot be of much use to the philosophical investigator, who aims at thinking out some special problem. Nor can it be expected to have any great attraction for the general reader who is interested in philosophical inquiries. Such a reader will usually desire to find solutions of difficulties, rather than indications of the points at which they lie and slight suggestions of methods by which they may

Pirsig’s Metaphysics of Quality

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Metaphysics of Quality (MOQ) is a theory of reality introduced in Robert Pirsig’s philosophical novel, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (1974) and expanded in Lila: An Inquiry into Morals (1991). The MOQ incorporates facets of East Asian philosophy, Pragmatism, the work of F. S. C. Northrop, and Indigenous American philosophy. Pirsig argues that the MOQ is a better lens through which to view reality than the traditional dualistic subjective/objective mindset found in the West. The Metaphysics of Quality originated with Pirsig’s college studies as a chemistry student. However, he dropped out after concluding that the ultimate answers to life were not to be found in science. After spending some time in Korea as a soldier, Pirsig realised that Oriental philosophy was a better place to search for ultimate answers. On his return home from Korea, Pirsig read F. S. C. Northrop’s book "The Meeting of East and West" which related Western culture to the culture of East Asia in a systematic way.

UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE THE METAPHYSICS OF VALUE VOL. I GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND THE KINGDOM OF VALUES BY K. R. SREENIVASA IYENGAR, M. A. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY MAHARAJAS COLLEGE, MYSORE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE MYSORE 1942 FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1942 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRINTED IN INDIA AT THE B. B. D. POWER PRESS COTTONPET, BANGALORE CITY PREFACE I should begin by referring to the plan of the work. This plan has been explained sufficiently, I hope, in the last section of the first chapter, but here I wish to say that the theory of value adopted in the work has necessitated the examination of almost all the important types of value-experience immediately after the determination of the nature and characteristics of value, with the result that one-half of the present volume has been devoted to such a critique of concrete values. More specifically, the first six chapters forming part I of the present volume are devoted to a discussion of the general principles and problems of value including a chapter on the psychology of valuation the next seven chapters constituting part II of the volume offer a critique of concrete values in which the operation of the general principles of value in the Kingdom of concrete values is exhibited the last chapter takes up the thread of the discussion of general principles in the I part. The writers hope is that this discussion would be continued in the second volume of the work. This second volume which is under preparation will contain, in addition to a treatment in the I part of the general priniciples of value such as the measurability and comparability of values, the commensurability of Values etc., a discussion of the summum bonum of man aswell as a consideration in the II part of the metaphysical implications or philosophical deductions of the value theory expounded in the work. Any constructive work in philosophy must necessarily have a definite standpoint conditioning the manner of approach to its problems. A philosophy without a standpoint has yet to be written however much writers on philosophy may ostensibly repudiate all presuppositions and when one is adopted it is bound to colour your whole treatment of problems. And in such circumstances a writer lays himself open to the charge of trying to unlock every door with the same master-key. I hope, however, that the attempt made in these pages does not savour of artificiality but represents a natural mode of interpretation disclosed by an analysis of facts themselves. And so all that I claim for the work is that it is an honest endeavour to think out consistently, i. e., from a definite standpoint, some of the pro blems that arise in connection with the concept of value. I have shirked no issue, however complex, though I have had to postpone to the second volume the consideration of certain ulti mate philosophical issues whose discussion in the present volume would have appeared as being too much in the nature of a digression. One great difficulty in
