Hi All (Ant in particular),
First off, apologies if this has been shared before. It didn't come up when I
did a keyword search of my email archives, so...
Below is a link to a dissertation, Nina Michaela von Dahlern (2012) at the
University of Hamburg, "The Ethical Foundations of Postmodernity –
Communicative Reality and Relative Individuals in Theory and North American
Literature".
Beginning (primarily) on page 140 ("Deconstructing Traditional Values: Zen and
the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance – An Inquiry into Values") and continuing
through at least page 240 (including "The Creation of a New Ethics: Lila – An
Inquiry into Morals") is some interesting discussion on Pirsig.
Ant, please note (if you had not already known) that your dissertation (and
'Intro' web article) is cited. :-).

I've only had a chance to glance this so far, but wanted to share for anyone
interested in Pirsig's ideas within the academy.
