Real knowledge is beyond reason
When we go to college we think that rational investigation would lead to some axiomatic truth that could be the foundation of our life. Some look for the truth in sciences others in philosophy. But there is no such a thing.
Pirsing proposes quality as an undefined, experiential attribute of reality. His quality is the Tao, the Zen substance or God. Quality is more of a spiritual, esthetic notion that can only be experienced not thought. A prior perception of goodness we are all born with.
