I like those suggestions Ron.
I've said repeatedly that some of my favourite Pirsig writing is on lingusitics / etymology, of key quality related words (Good, Art/Rta, Fair, etc.) and that is at the root of misplaced expectations to achieve definitional conclusions in our interminable philosophical debates. (Personally, I find the fact that the "conclusions" remain circular is a very good sign that circularity is a good. The frustration is with those that still expect the circle to lead anywhere except the circle.) It's all language and all language is metaphors (dead or alive) - you can approach understanding by using it but never arrive at a destination called definition. And what is good ? Good is a noun. Must ponder that more. Ian Ian, Check out this link for the description of noun class. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun_class grammar shapes how we think. I feel that while circularity shows a certain degree of stability, in this case it is the effect of this particular linguistic gumption trap. This discuss group suffers from stuck-ness. Clearly Robert Pirsig handed us an incomplete work, Clearly this discuss group reached it's high water mark With the Paul Turner letter and Lila's child. Asking All the right questions. It's time to further the discussion by beginning anew Right here, on this topic. I cordially invite you and anyone else to further This thread with your own thoughts.
