Message-ID: <132@uwvax.ARPA> Date: Mon, 6-Feb-84 19:22:23 EST Article-I.D.: uwvax.132 Posted: Mon Feb 6 19:22:23 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Feb-84 13:20:37 EST References: <17000001@hp-pcd.UUCP> Organization: U of Wisconsin CS Dept Lines: 8 One good, readable essay/story on quality is *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance*. Standard read in philosophical thinking courses. If I remember correctly, the author argues that Quality is not something inherent in an object, nor purely subjectively experienced, but is a relation between subject and object. But you have to read the book (the movie won't do). Jeff Myers@wisc-rsch
