[MD] Julian Baggini interview

[Ant McWatt]

Ant McWatt stated to Mark Maxwell October 31st:

The Pirsig interview with the Philosophers Magazine is still available at:

www.philosophersnet.com/magazine/pirsig_transcript.htm

While a collation of Pirsig’s responses for the interview (which was OK’ed 
with Pirsig) is available in the form of an “MOQ Summary” at:

www.robertpirsig.org/MOQSummary.htm

A complete transcript of the interview doesn’t really exist as it was 
conducted via a number of e-mails (with Pirsig, Baggini and myself).  
However, the only parts “missing” from the above are social niceties and a 
few linking sentences which became irrelevant when these e-mails were all 
collated together.


Mark then noted to Ant McWatt October 31st:

>Hi Anthony,
>A complete transcript does exist and Julian will be happy to provide it for 
>you.
>Hope to see it on the site soon.
>Love,
>Mark

Ant McWatt comments:

Mark,

That was good of Baggini to offer me a “complete transcript” of the 
Philosopher’s Magazine interview.  However, the MOQ Summary is how I decided 
(with Pirsig’s blessing) to finally present this material at 
robertpirsig.org as Pirsig’s answers by themselves make a good, to-the-point 
essay.  (Remember, I don't run a website called julianbaggini.org !)

Having said that, if the interview version at www.philosophersnet.com (i.e. 
the version that  includes Baggini’s questions) was removed at some point 
(and it wasn’t available elsewhere on the internet) then I would have a 
re-think about featuring this version (or this “complete transcript” you 
mention) at robertpirsig.org as well.

Best wishes,

Anthony.
