dmb says: I disagree. I think that's exactly what happened to our friend Matt. And it's not just a problem about students. It's also a problem for grandmothers like Marsha, who thinks Pirsig is a relativist. They both tend to use pragmatism to assert a position that I'd characterize as philosophical narcissism. Neither seems particularly interested in discovering what the MOQ means per se. They just take the parts that please them and ignore the rest. Rorty reads things this way too and I just don't see how that sort of thing can be intellectually responsible or fair or accurate. In short, I think that sort of whimsy is bogus and extremely objectionable. Marsha: That's my label, Dave, grandmother? You have as much wisdom as a thin slice of salami.
