I thought philosophy was pointing out life's way?
Pirsig has a metaphysics, which points out what
reality is. Reality, according to Pirsig, has four
levels and a dynamic quality, which can't be
explained. So, after all of this, where in these four
levels and dq does Pirsig try to get rid of
nonsensical? Doesn't Pirsig say the nonsensical
person could be a brujo? Pirsig was thought by this
culture at one point in time to be nonsensical.
Pirsig did what they wanted to get out of the asylum,
but he really knew that something was messed up and
not including his unique view/experience. So, he
found this cultures dismissal of value to be a blind
eye on a reality that is truly here. A reality of
quality.
