As one or two of you know very well(!), towards the end of LILA, Robert Pirsig briefly refers to a text by Joseph Campbell titled 'The Masks of God'. One of the themes in the latter (which is published in four volumes by the way) is the idea of ancient archetypes found in - to use the Jungian phrase - the 'collective unconscious'. (If you read Volume One of "The Masks of God" about how the little girl comes to believe that the match she was playing with becomes a witch, you will see more than an analogy here to Lila's doll becoming an idol for Phaedrus). Anyway, I am pleased to announce a paper by Joseph Masaryk that introduces four typical archetypes found in the modern Western man with reference to the romantic & classic modes of ZMM and the Kantian a priori modes of the Self which supposedly create thought i.e. the aesthetic forms of time and space, the logical forms of the categories of understanding, and the noumenal forms of the Transcendent. However, this paper is much more readable than Kant. Believe me! To judge for yourself, you can read Masaryk's paper here: http://robertpirsig.org/Being.htm
