DM: That's right, Critchley is very good at exploring
what is good and bad in post-modernism, I recommend
him highly. Pirsig's avoidance of obscurantism is one of his
great qualities, the other is deconstructing the SOM that
leads to scientism as Christopher Norris pointed out
many years ago in his little book on deconstruction.
