Hi Platt,

I think Pirsig is more likely to find a home in art departments once his
philosophy is fully understood and appreciated. After all is said and
done, recognition of betterness -- the fundamental experiential reality
of the MOQ -- is an aesthetic response.
Matt:
That's interesting. My mind says "doubtful," because--as Granger's
book sets out to show--Pirsig parallels Dewey's work on art,
aesthetics, and experience and I doubt Dewey is taught much in Art
Departments, and my mind wants to say, too, that aesthetics in
general isn't even taken terribly seriously in Art Departments. But
then again, those are somewhat more baseless opinions than
normal, as I have even less of an idea of what's going on right now
in Art Departments than I do Philosophy Departments.
