It's objectivity as the basis of all that is objectionable - (heh-heh. "object"ionable) I do think there is much more than mere "hinting" at something beyond in Pirsig's writing. I believe a profound and eloquent argument has been made for the "something beyond." But I certainly agree with your "achievment of modernity" statement. That was the crux of my earlier posting concerning the baby/bathwater analogy. I also think the great utility and profound significance of the MoQ, is it does let us sort of "eat the cake AND have it".. I mean, I'm not even sure what this means, but it seems to fit what's in my brain. And Kindergardners don't need more than a feeling to be happy. So there.
