plato: good is relative; truth is absolute
pirsig: truth is relative; good is absolute is this summary accurate?

The short form. Okay.
Plato: The Good is a fixed, eternal form beyond the world of appearances,
second only to Truth itself.
Pirsig: The Good is dynamic and known directly while truth is a static species
of the good and is known intellectually.
In other words, the battle between the Good and the true is a battle between
dynamic and static quality. I don't know if my Plato professor was convinced,
but I did get the highest score for his course and for the paper in which I
made that case. I figure that means it couldn't have sucked too much, that it
makes some sense even to a Plato scholar. For whatever that's worth...
