Craftsmanship Is Destroyed By The So Called “Objectivity”, AND Other Wrongly Conceived Science Practices.

….“I think the basic fault that underlies the problem of stuckness is traditional rationality’s insistence upon "objectivity," a doctrine that there is a divided reality of subject and object. .“ [Some persons wrongly conceive that ] “For true science to take place these must be rigidly separate from each other. "You are the mechanic. There is the motorcycle. You are forever apart from one another. You do this to it. You do that to it. These will be the results."
.. This eternally dualistic subject-object way of approaching the motorcycle sounds right to us because we’re used to it.
…… But it’s not right. It’s always been an artificial interpretation SUPERIMPOSED on reality. It’s never been reality itself.
….When this duality is completely accepted a certain nondivided relationship between the mechanic and motorcycle, a craftsmanlike feeling for the work, is destroyed. When traditional rationality divides the world into subjects and objects it shuts out Quality, and when you’re really stuck it’s Quality, not any subjects or objects, that tells you where you ought to go.
.... By returning our attention to Quality it is hoped that we can get technological work out of the non-caring subject-object dualism and back into craftsmanlike self-involved reality again, which will reveal to us the facts we need when we are stuck.” (Cont. Next)
…. NOTE: The next up BOLDED by ZMMQuality Editors for special emphasis. Also since word “superimposed” is already italicized in the ZMM text, we used UPPER CASE LETTERING to communicate additional emphasis, you see above.

….Notice the FOUR uses of word “Reality” in the ZMM passage above. … This (as discussed in the ~20 & 21th previous photo), is one of the 83 times the “reality” word is used by Author Robert Pirsig, in his book “Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”.
