Phaedrus, in the novel, contrasts those at University who are there to learn to think, and those who are there to earn a grade.



I think a good grade good.
if I learn to think, my grade should show it?

Just quality in and of itself. How to define it. Wherever it is found.

Maybe it has to do not with "the thing in itself" but that there is some sort of "inter-being" between the person and that which is deemed to have "quality"?


Fit for purpose?


I think Fit for Purpose is the cleanest way to describe it.

Operational definition of what is needed, and a measurement against that need to detect defects.

Six Sigma stuff for those who are familiar.

is the quality in the name of a product, or its ability to function as needed?

Functions easily and takes longer to fall apart.

Been awhile since I wrestled with Persig, so take this for what you will.

Phaedrus says that Quality is precognitive. He gives the metaphor of Quality being the tracks on which the train of Rationality rides. If you think of it that way, it becomes clear that Quality is what guides Rationality, and hence Quality can't be grasped by Rationality.

So, the question "What is Quality?" has the form of a question, but lacks content. It would be like asking "How many tacos until the color green juggles bowling balls?" Linguistic form without content.

Instead, try to experience what Quality is.

Quality is very vital when it comes to photography. A quality image is a good images. There are a bunch of stuff that should be put into considerations if you want to achieve a quality image. I have plenty of examples of quality African images. Have a look at them on Africa Know's website

Yeah, the topic is 'Quality' as a term, not quality in reference to a specific thing, like photography. Nobody wants to look at 'quality African images' right now. We're perfectly fine with the 'decent African images' for now, thank you.
