Hey Guys, Sometimes philosophers don't understand the implications, or even the core assumptions of their own ideas. This is very common in the history of philosophy, with one philosopher decrying the way he is grouped or classified, or the uses made of their philosophy.
Sometimes they are right. Sometime they don't see the larger trend that they are a part of, or the fuller implications or the erroneuous assumptions of their thought. This, I believe, is the case with with Pirsig.
