Mark Smit stated May 7th 2012:
Ant, tell me what the problem with Plato was. His "Good"
is the same thing as Pirsig's Quality.
Ant McWatt comments:
Well Mark,
Not according to Pirsig they're not. I don't know whether you really believe
this statement of yours or just haven't read the material in question
but (to paraphrase) Pirsig states that his Quality is fundamentally Dynamic
and indefinable while Plato's Good is a static Form that (supposedly) can be
defined. Plato's "Republic" refers to the Good in a couple of places and what
he says here does tend to support Pirsig's view. In my honest opinion.
Best wishes,
Ant
