[MD] Creativity and Philosophology, 2 (from 2005)

[Steven Peterson]

Hi Matt,

Let me grant that you've successfully "fuzzed-up" the distinction
between philosophy and philosophology that Pirsig and others would
like to keep distinct. Though such categorizations can usually be
fuzzied, can't they also still be useful such as that between erotic
art and pornography?

You've said that Pirsig wants us to keep this distinction because it
frees him from the criticisms of academia. Can you see any other
purpose for which this distinction could still be useful?

Best,
Steve
