[MD] The Role of Evolution, Time and Order in Pirsig's "Metaphysics of Quality"

[MarshaV]

  ABSTRACT Our analysis of the roles of evolution, time and order 
within Pirsig's metaphysical system show that they are given meanings 
in his writings which, on face-value, appear to be paradoxical. The 
cause of these apparent paradoxes stem from the roles of these 
concepts appearing to be both pre-requisites for Pirsig's 
extrapolation of his metaphysical system from "immediate experience" 
(or what he terms "Quality") and simultaneously being products of it. 
After the main body of the paper, two brief responses to this problem 
(and some final comments to these by the authors) are given by Pirsig.
