Hi Matt,

I just read your post "What is Enlightenment?"

http://pirsigaffliction.blogspot.com/2006/03/what-is-enlightenment.html

You compare Eastern Enlightenment in Buddhism or Hinduism with Western
Enlightenment as 18th century european cultural phenomenon.I
understand what you are saying about pragmatists not being able to see
Enlightenment as an epistemological achievement. A good point. You
then say that what is left then is only bliss. Perhaps both forms of
Enlightenment could also be understood in negative terms as overcoming
anxiety.

What do you think?

Best,
Steve
