    Ian, Platt,

    I tend to think Pirsig made the point already that the divison between
    arts and "sciences" is a fiction anyway - I always believed his
    etymology of Rt / Art / Craft / Rite / Right etc was particularly
    telling.

    Scott:
    What I find telling -- and not telling something good -- is that Pirsig left
    "ratio" (reason) out of his list of derivations. If he hadn't left it out,
    could he still describe DQ as "pre-intellectual"?
