[MD] Pirsig and Socratic method (a question for Ant)

[X Acto]

Dr Mcwatt,
 A question has emerged (for myself) in regard to the literary device Mr. Pirsig
chose (if any) to illuminate his thoughts about quality to the reader.
It seems to me that he uses Socratic method and Maieutics.
If this is the case, and Mr. Pirsig did intentionally use this method,
It would change how his works are perceived ( for my own interpretation)
and others I would imagine.

The linkage with these schools of though to Orphism and Pythagoreanism
as it relates to "Anaximander's ideas about the apeiron and 
the peiron, the unlimited and limited" are uncanny.

Thank you for your time
