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.
