All: Pirsig neatly sums up liberal arts as "taught" in most universities:
"Literature, musicology, art history and philosophology thrive in academic institutions because they are easy to teach.You just Xerox something some philosopher has said and make the students discuss it, make them memorize it, and then flunk them at the end of the quarter if they forget it. Actual painting, music composition and creative writing are almost impossible to teach and so barely get in the academic door." (Lila, 26) The man is the master of truth and plain talk.
