Platt: With one stroke Pirsig overthrows his premise of universal morality by admitting to moral relativity. Further, he implies that to overcome moral relativity is impossible because "each person has a different static pattern of life history."
"Where have I go wrong in this post?" Andre: Hi Platt, my gut reaction is that you've got it arseabout. Morality is not relative to each person. Each person is relative to morality. DQ is the constant. Static patterns the variant. (and this is good in itself, otherwise it would be a very dull place to be, no?) There are no subjects and there are no objects, there are static patterns of value moving towards DQ. I think Pirsig reinforces his evolutionary vision in this quote you mention, and thereby the strength of the MoQ. And what is good Phaedrus, and what is not good- Need we ask anyone to tell us these things? I stand corrected and am convinced Ham will pounce on this like UTOU.
