Bo, In the interests of being fair and balanced, this from the great author himself: BAGGINI: Although the metaphysics of quality is important in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, it seems to me that perhaps more important is a certain attitude to existence which it advocates. Is it possible to separate the metaphysics from this attitude and if so, which is more important to you? PIRSIG: Yes, the Metaphysics of Quality itself is static and should be separated from the Dynamic Quality it talks about. Like the rest of the printed philosophic tradition it doesn't change from day to day, although the world it talks about does. To use an Oriental metaphor, it is just another finger pointing toward the moon. --- From an interview with Baggini Perhaps my "weltenschauung" notion was not such a hot idea after all. Also Pirsig's answer implies the MOQ is a static intellectual pattern. That you disagree with Pirsig about this is noted.
