[MD] Social Imposition ?

[David M]

Ian

Of course, Mill saw himself as
trying to reconcile the Enlightenment
with Romanticism, Coleridge was
a big influence on Mill, Schelling
influenced both Coleridge and Heidegger,
all this stuff is looking at the same problems
Pirsig is addressing. Like Pirsig Mill had a breakdown
too and was a prodigy.
