    Hi

    thanks for below, no access to university libraries these
    days I'm afraid, also the interest may be stronger in the US
    than here in the UK. But we keep going.

    Regards
    David M

    Congrats on all the hard work, hope you get your
    PHD soon, how have your colleagues responded
    to your Pirsig interest. I have never seen anything on
    Pirsig in a philosophy journal, except on-line ones,
    strangely enough.

    David,

    There are, at least, a hundred articles on Pirsig's work in philosophy and
    English literature academic journals though most are concerned with ZMM. A
    few of these are printed in the Di Santo' and Steele's "Guidebook to ZMM",
    more articles are cited there while far more are mentioned in the academic
    search engines that any half-decent university library will have.

    Everyone, who has seen the website at the Department and outside has been
    very positive towards it (Platt's definitely being the most eulogistic!).
    In the Department, the actual attitude towards Pirsig's philosophy is mixed
    ranging from the very enthusiastic (usually from the younger lecturers such
    as Dr Piers Stephens) to the older ones who are usually as enthusiastic as a
    dog who's just been shown a card trick (though they are exceptions to
    this!).

    Best wishes,

    Anthony
