Hi, X Acto -
Neat visualization of the movie scene. Would be neat to extend and see
Phaedrus meeting all the thinkers. "The personality of the great
philosophers is immortal and irrefutable." - Nietzsche.
I think Bob is the writer to take Plato and Aristotle very deeply
*seriously*. It makes me think how serious Nietzsche was about Socrates -
then at the very end, admitted he admired and loved him. Ultimately,
Aristotle and Plato come together - the classification scheme is pure
Aristotle, almost pure Chairman. That would be a whole essay in itself -
threads of A and P in ZAMM.
In "Sophist" it is the visitor, from Elea who is the "bully"
Those Parmenideans can be tough people. ; )
Pirsig with his 1961 paper to Edith on teaching quality in writings
Is it available anywhere? I'm very interested in everything Bob has written.
I hope things are archived and not scattered about.
