Ant McWatt comments:
Well, sort of John. Pirsig was making his assessment about F.H. Bradley ONLY
from those Copleston notes on Idealism found at:
robertpirsig.org/Copleston.htm (for anyone out there wondering where these can
be read!).
It's worth keeping in mind that Pirsig never read Bradley's texts or papers.
If indeed Bradley was on the same tracks as the MOQ, again like Northrop, much
of his material is weighed down by "heavy" often obscure rhetoric. I read
Bradley's "Appearance and Reality" while studying for the MOQ PhD and found it
of little help.
However, I always enjoyed Pirsig's retort to Copleston's statement that "The
Absolute is spirit" with the comment "There is [a]
brand of vodka called “Absolut”!
Best wishes,
Ant
