Hey all,
My suggestion:
At the end of Lila Pirsig leaves us with this "summation":
"Good is a noun. That was it. That was what Phaedrus had been looking for.
That was the homer, over the fence, that ended the ball game. Good as a
noun rather than an adjective is all the Metaphysics of Quality is about....
....if you had to reduce the whole Metaphysics of Quality to a single
sentance, that would be it."
A bold claim. But without having read the rest of the book (and maybe even
having read it) that sentance is (to say the least) cryptic. I think of a
snipet from ZMM--- "....when the statement is isolated and itself subject to
scrutiny it becomes patently ridiculous."
Anybody care to explore exactly what "Good is a noun" means and whether it
really captures the entire MoQ?
It's all Good (by the way),
Rick
